Remember 
your humanity, 
and forget the rest.
Bertrand Russell




Royal Hawaiian Hotel *
We cannot become
what we need to be
by remaining
what we are.
Max Dupree


Little Green Heron I love thee

Simplicity is the
ultimate sophistication.
Leonardo da Vinci





What I look forward to is continued immaturity followed by death. Dave Barry

It Was A Time. Good and Bad. 
But it was a time. . . 


*The Royal Hawaiian Hotel, known as the "Pink Palace of the Pacific," is a landmark of Waikiki Beach and one of the most historic and luxurious hotels in Hawaii. Opened in 1927 as the largest construction project in the Pacific at the time, its striking Spanish-Moorish architecture and distinctive pink façade quickly made it an island icon[1][2][9]. Throughout its history, the hotel has played host to celebrities, world leaders, and landmark events, serving as a glamorous resort destination and even a key military rest center during World War II[1][3]. Today, it stands as a symbol of Hawaii's heritage, blending historic elegance with modern amenities, and is recognized as a member of Historic Hotels of America[1][3][8].
