"You must not think me 
necessarily foolish 
because I am facetious,
 nor will I consider
 you necessarily 
wise because 
you are grave."

Waikiki HAS opportunities for folks of different
ability levels to surf:

"I discovered early that the hardest thing to overcome is not a physical disability but the mental condition which it induces. The world, I found, has a way of taking a man pretty much at his own rating. If he permits his loss to make him embarrassed and apologetic, he will draw embarrassment from others. But if he gains his own respect, the respect of those around him comes easily." 

 Alexander de Seversky

"Disability is not a brave struggle
 or ‘courage
 in the face of adversity.’ 
Disability is an art. 
It’s an ingenious way
 to live."

 Ah, the Parrot Guy and his working birds. 
He covers you in birds,
the birds squawk and pose
while he, or your pals
snap pics for your
 Facebook/Blog/Instagram.
You pay him.
Repeat.

History Before Our Eyes

Watching History Unfold




"HONOLULU — When, as most everyone expects, Gov. Neil Abercrombie signs into law same-sex marriage here in the coming days, it may almost seem like a routine event. Hawaii is poised to be among 16 states to approve gay marriage, along with Illinois and shortly after Minnesota, New Jersey and Rhode Island.
     But the step in Hawaii has special resonance because the contemporary battle over same-sex marriage was born here two decades ago. Such marriages existed nowhere when Ninia Baehr and Genora Dancel, along with two other couples, filed what seemed like an utterly quixotic lawsuit seeking a marriage license. To near universal shock, Hawaii’s Supreme Court granted them a victory in 1993, ruling that a refusal to allow gay and lesbian couples to marry was discriminatory and illegal."
