I made such obvious mistakes during the Trump era
Now that I come to think of it, it was stupid for me to be such a contrarian during Trump's administration.
Trying BP-Rx by Re-3 to supplement my high BMI, hypertension, and cholesterol treatments
I grew up in Hawaii and so I am much more open to Chinese medicine. My dad's office was in Chinatown in downtown Honolulu on O`ahu so I spent a lot of time in the Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) stores along Hotel Street. I even go to TCM treatments at Heavenly Bodies Clinic, including acupuncture and tinctures. I am giving BP-Rx a try since it uses traditional Chinese ingredients that naturally and homeopathically treat all that ails me, including cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, hypertension, and high blood pressure.

I finally got my feet into a pair of Atreyu running shoes
Ever since I first heard of Atreyu, from Kofuzi or Seth James DeMoor, I have been trying to get a pair on my size-13 medium feet. Until last week, no luck. They were always sold out. Now, I not only have a pair of Standard Issue Colorway #2 but I will get a replacement pair every two months until I ask them to pause or stop their unique $55/pair subscription service. Brilliant!

Silent Night in Hawaiian
I grew up singing Silent Night in Hawaiian growing up. I lived on O'ahu from 1976-1988 and then a few times after that. But it was as a Public School elementary school kid at Aliamanu Elementary school and then from 7th-12th grade at Saint Louis School where we always would sing po la`i e, po kamaha`o instead of silent night, holy night. I've also lived in Germany and learned that this haunting, beautiful song was penned in German and put to music by Joseph Mohr and Franz Xaver Gruber in Oberndorf, Austria, in 1818. Very interesting indeed. So, I included the original German as well, which is stille Nacht, heilige Nacht. Enjoy and Merry Christmas!
Happy holidays and happy new year from Dan and Chris!
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin, we wish you happy holidays and a merry new year!
