There goes the gingerbread man

Took a bite out of a gingerbread man at work.

Ojizo

On a drive around the east side and Makapuu, stopped to take a photo of the rocks and ocean. If I hadn't done a story on Kaya Fishing Supply, I wouldn't have known what the Ojizo monument was. As a diety offering protection to fishermen and other ocean-goers, it is intended as a warning, but has also become a memorial to those lost.

Christmas is coming, via motorcycle

At the Manoa Marketplace, we parked next to these motorcycles, dressed for the holidays. We later spotted their similarly attired riders.

At TCM-Spalding House

After lunch in The Contemporary Cafe, Chris and I strolled the grounds and spent some time in Lynne Yamamoto's tin-roofed "House for Listening to Rain"—alas it drizzled only after we left—and revisited David Hockney's "L'enfant et les Sortilèges" installation in the Milton Cades Pavilion. It was a trip from lightness to darkness.
