Time to break out the broom, gang. The Nets took their best shot, and still came up short against the Lakers. I’ll be passing through New Jersey in 8 days on my way to Ireland. If the outcome wasn’t so clear from the outset, it would probably be a pretty sad place. But, hey, it’s New Jersey. Nobody expected them to get this far, anyway.

Colonel suspended for bad-mouthing Bush. Ah, the military. When they want your opinion they’ll give it to you. This colonel works/worked at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey. I just visited CSU-Monterey Bay for a language conference and met a number of people who worked at DLI. I wonder if we met; the name doesn’t sound familiar.

My daughter Malia and I went to the Na Hoku Hanohano Awards (Hawai’i’s equivalent of the Grammys) last week, and had a blast. Malia is onstage (black dress and glasses) with some of Hawai’i finest singing “Hawai’i Aloha” at the closing of the awards. Others in the picture include Palani Vaughn, Sean Na’auao, Skylark Rosetti, Frank Kawaikapuokalani Hewett, Darlene Ahuna, and Larry Kimura.

My worse nightmare failed to materialize as the Lakers knocked off the Kings in Game 7 of the western conference finals. I’ll be the first to admit that the Lakers played terribly and the Kings spectacularly. Whenever the Lakers got a bit of a lead, the Kings came back and played like it was the last play of the game.
