Panda Express

 My theory at one time was that no matter where you go in the United States, even in the back country roads, there will be a Chinese restaurant, and if there are no asians running it, it is usually labeled Chop Suey.  Well, times have changed and now they are being replaced by Panda Express.  This is the one in Lahaina on Maui.  It was one of many on the Island.




And no, we did not eat there.  No comparison to Sam Sato's.  Thanks to all who recommended places to eat and shop.  All were dead on.

Netflx

 Ever since I subscribed to Netflix, I haven't used it much, but my password has made the rounds in the family.  No one wanted to spend the $8 a month subscription fee.  Now I admit it does not bother me, until I scrolled through the selections tonight.  Under the heading Top Picks for George, these are the suggested films:

    Selena

    Crazy Stupid Love

    Collateral Beauty

    What a Girl Wants

    Windsor

What are people watching using my password?????  Really?

Nisei Legacy

 Last Friday I was priveliedged to be asked to help out filming the Go For Broke Stamp unveiling at the Japanese American National Museum.  One of the founding members of the group of three ladies was the Miyoshi next door neighbor Chiz Ohira.  She passed before the stamp was issued.  

You can view the program and learn about the stamp at this link:  https://niseistamp.org. 

Be aware that the program is 2 hrs. in length. June Kuramoto and Kimo Cornwell of Hiroshima plays a Thousand Cranes at the end.

I am Camera #2.  So if you see the video shake, it's the equipment, not the operator accidentally hitting the tripod.  It was a great learning experience as a friend took me through the whole video through a zoom meeting for 3 hours, showing me the ins and outs of Live Action Camera 101.  Or, these are the things you did wrong and can improve upon.  Did I mention that I had fun? And, as one of the younger guys. I got to crawl amongst the tiered theater seating laying cable.





Wada Legacy

Growing up, our two car garage never housed a car that I remember.  It was filled to the brim with stuff.  I used to make pathways through the pile of treasures.  Well, I somehow inherited the trait.  I can either pass on my stuff or leave enough money for them to rent a huge trash bin.
