Rich Miano is today's chat guest at noon
We’re calling an audible.
UH associate head football coach Rich Miano will be today’s guest on the Warrior Beat Show, which will begin at noon.
He’ll discuss the recently completed spring training, as well as this weekend’s activities.
We apologize for the late programming, but, hey, since the band width has been paid, might as well use it.
See you there.

Former UH offensive lineman Aaron Kia has secured a tryout with the New York Jets. He will participate in the Jets’ organized team activities (OTA), which resumes May 15 in New York.

Did we forget to mention that former UH offensive lineman Raphael Ieru is now an o-lineman/d-lineman with the Fairbanks Grizzlies of the Indoor Football League:?
Here’s how you can follow our adopted team: Grizzlies.

Happy birthday to the mother of Hawaii Speed and Quickness — the brilliant and gorgeous Lori Miano.

By popular demand, the Warrior Beat is bringing back the reader profiles. But there’s a twist. Instead of autobiographies, we’re going with bios. At our request, Powderpuff writes about Stretch:
To some he’s known as the “Instigator;” to others – three girls in particular – he’s known as “Uncle.” To coaches and players playing UH, he’s just known. To Tsai-kos on the Warrior Beat blog, he’s known simply as “Stretch.”
Born during the latter half of the year in the early ‘70s, Stretch grew up in East Honolulu. He received his first taste of UH Athletics in the late ‘70s from his grandfather who was one of the early members of Koa Anuenue. Following his graduation from University Lab School, he matriculated (as a certain local sportscaster likes to say…) to the University of Hawaii-Manoa, where he graduated from the College of Engineering.
Stretch is a natural leader, but on that first day at UH in Engineering Class, he was lost. Friend and fellow engineer Brandon Chong recalls: “Everyone else was following (or making believe like they were) except this one tall, skinny, Japanese guy next to me who looked as lost as I was. I’m not kidding, Stretch was skinny(er). I asked him, ‘you understanding any of this?’ And he answered with a strong and confident NOPE! From that point on, I knew we could hang out.”
Stretch’s passion for UH Athletics is obvious and he is one guy who’s secure in his fanhood. How many other 30-somethings would you catch wearing a UH (mini)megaphone attached to a lanyard around his neck? Yup, you can spot him a mile away – just like his truck, which of course sports the “UH” tapa logos. He’s no stranger to opposing football coaches at Aloha Stadium – only a few feet and a glass window separates them. His voice often haunts players from visiting teams at Les Murakami Stadium. Strains of “routine fly ball” and “use the doughnut…I’m warning you” have surely echoed in many players’ heads. Most recently at the UH men’s volleyball first-round game, he drew stares and glares from a certain Pepperdine player who heard Stretch yell, “You can’t be Freshman of the Year if you hit zero…ZERO! You are NOTHING…naaaaaah-thing!”
Perhaps what really speaks volumes about Stretch doesn’t come from his mouth, but from others who have known him from pre-Warrior Beat blog days. Kevin Okazaki served as a chaperone/counselor for the Summer Program for the Enhancement of Basic Education – a program for which Stretch was hand-picked in his senior year in high school. Okazaki recalls fondly that Stretch is “fun to be around with…he’s like Peter Pan in tights…a big little boy.” “And I bet if you dared him to run around in tights, he’d do it,” continued Okazaki. All kidding aside, he says Stretch is “very considerate, and would give you the shirt off his back…he’s that generous and that considerate.”
When he’s not busy racking up frequent-flier miles going to work, Stretch can probably be found on the links crushing some balls, playing pranks and practical jokes on his friends…or maybe even helping someone in need.
“When I first met him, I was intimidated, because of his size and the fact that he was quiet. Sometimes quiet people can be misinterpreted since you are not sure what they are thinking…just like me,” says longtime friend Stanford Lee (Sleeze on the blog). “But as it turns out he’s a big guy with an even bigger heart. He’s always willing to help people whether it’s through referrals, driving them around, or even charities. He is also very good with math, especially when it is related to sports.”
Math and sports…yes, pop culture…no. Stretch is the last one you want on your Trivial Pursuit team answering questions about pop culture. Why? Because he’s the first to admit he knows very little about pop culture, movies, television shows, etc. Why? Because he’s too busy living…and that’s no Stretch.

Not too early to start making plans for the Koa Kid Football Camp.
Congrats to Aaron Kia!
Nice bio on Stretch, Powderpuff! 🙂
2nd place bebe.
cheepono out.
Good Luck to Aaron Kia.
Stretch,
Loyal, reliable, trustworthy. Will drop everything and anything at anytime to assist a friend in need. Just the type of son that my dad would have wanted.
Sorry dad!
Geez, nice job PowderPuff. You should get a job at the Star-Advertiser…
Great bio PowderPuffer!
Stretch is the kind of guy that contributes to a worthy cause without hesitation. After meeting his mom, I also know where he gets his travel spirit. His passion for UH sports is hard to match! We all know him as being 99% quiet & shy…but opposing teams wish he would just SHUTUP!
Stretch, congratulations on being the first in this new bio-format that ST has started. Oh, and thanks for holding still for so long while I wielded that Machete to cut the hair off your almost Bolo head! Hehehe…
nice job powder puff.
ummmm. how much did he pay you for the bio?
nah, nah, nice telling of a nice guy. why, if i were older he could be the son i always wanted.
i have some stories that could have contributed to this well written bio. however, this is a family blog.
yup, big guy with an even bigger heart!
…nuff said.
congrats to aaron kia.
all it takes is one opportunity.
one more word about stretch.
kolohe
top10!
Happy Hump Day!
Go git-’em Kia!
Whoo-hoo!!!
Nice job Powderpuff!
Yay to Stretch for being number one in a lot of things and now the first in the new and improved bios.
Whoo-hoo, twice!
eew. stretch in peter pan stretchy tights?
wow, that’s quite a first bio to live up to. so professional with research and actual quotables.
Go Kia!
Wowzaaaah!!, Powderpuff, is one awsome writer!!, I like it!!
Nice job PP, but the kid and I have played golf with Stretch and crushing the golf ball is a misnomer. 🙂
Wow! Lots of things happened in Hawaii since I last read the blog. I heard about the QB situation there and all I’ll say is that it’s ugly. The Conference shake-ups is pretty crazy. But from what I saw from some emails that I was privi to, we(SMU) may benefit from it by going to the Big XII. That would be crazy. The WAC-MWC alliance has some problems in that the founding schools left the WAC because, among other things, the travel costs of having to play Hawaii every year. That would be a shame as BYU-Hawaii has always been a great rivalry for us.
morning gang!
good luck Aaron!
Powderpuff – good job on the bio and thank you Stephen for bringing it back
Local J-E-T-S should put the Annual Hawaiian Picnic in Central Park on their schedule. Sunday, June 6. Lots of local grinds, hula, and good music.
Aaron has a great shot as a guard.
Go Kia!
Aloha Stretch!
Go Warriors!
Eo na toa, Eo na toa e!
Good Morning Tsaiko Family.
Wow, Powderpuff! What a great bio of Stretch. The bar has been set – and it looks to be at a NCAA record height!
Happy Boys Day!!!!
Great Morning All!
Good Luck to Aaron Kia!
Excellent piece by PP! Stretch is truly a “friend indeed for any friend in need”!
Very interesting comment by Paka….
…and by “Ferd”
Happy Boys’ Day!
Happy Cinco de Mayo!
…hoping to hold out on eating ’til LunChauWah. 😉
ST & Tsaiko Blog Dogs,
Thanks to PP for the nice bio. Stretch has done so much for this blog and UH sports. Am privileged to say I have met him. NICE GUY in capital letters!
Good morning Tsai-kos!! Happy Boy’s Day! Happy Cinco de Mayo!
Happy Birthday to Coach Miano’s better half, Lori.
Good luck to Aaron Kia.
I would like to echo the sentiments expressed here. Good job, PP!! Yep, Stretch is a really nice guy as long as you’re not an opposing player or coach. PP – don’t forget about Stretch’s “research”.
Go Jr. Bows!
PP did a great bio of Stretch!
Interesting article in the El Paso Times that touches on some conference realignment issues. C-USA and UTEP have already ruled out a proactive move and they have investigated numerous scenarios depending on what the Big 10 does.
I was reading Ferd’s column today, and the WAC’s position reminded me of recruiting.
UH wants the local players to stay home, but the Mainland players to go away (to Hawaii).
The WAC wants a pact so none of its members leaves, but it would be more than willing to accept UNLV or San Diego State.
Uh, sure.
Question: If asked, would UH join the MWC?
It’s easy for someone in Group A to say that the entire gang should not go out with anyone from Group B if that person was not asked by anyone from Group B.
OK, that was convoluted. But you get the point.
Good Morning Tsaikos!!
Congratulations to Aaron Kia. I wonder if Mike Smith has anything to do with two UH guys coming in for tryouts?
Congratulations to Ralph Ieru on continuing his playing carrer.
What a surprise to wake up to. Thanks PP for writing this and those who have posted nice stuff after. I really think we should learn about NEW people, not the old futs on the blog.
Nice bio, PP! Stretch, you’ve been immortalized in Tsaiko annals!
UH doesn’t need pacts or allies or whatever.
It needs victories.
If the football and basketball teams are successful, then UH becomes an attractive sports franchise.
Good enough to be asked to join another league? Maybe, maybe not. But there’s no reason UH can’t dominate the WAC, with or without Boise State around.
UH has a captive audience, attractive time slot, and a budget that is $2 million more than its revenue. Winning should be the only option.
Good morning Tsaikos. Great bio on Stretch.
Stretch:
PP, with her journalism background, was one of the few who could pull off a bio on our deadline. Especially since I called her 12 seconds after coming up with the bio concept.
We’ll try to get to as many people as we can — old fut or new fut — before the electricity goes off.
Happy Boy’s Day!
Alojah Kakahiaka Cinco De Mayo…
Congrats to all the boys pursuing professional football careers. Nice to see the Jets giving some love to our local boys!
Nice story on Stretch but moa nice that honey girl in the picture with him, oohwee I never even notice Stretch was in the picture…my bad!
Great job Powderpuff – and I echo the sentiments about Stretch.
Having been on the receiving end of his kindness, I know of his kind heart first hand.
Good morning Hawaii!
Great job Powderpuff! Keep those bios coming
ST, #36 is absolutely spot on…and may I add, given that winning is more than just looking good, but financially necessary, loosing needs to be put on a very, very short list of “acceptable” with change executed in a quick and short termed manner.
Just a thought on the “unattractive” part of UH in anyone’s conference: travel to Hawaii. If we know this and know that it is also unattractive for UH to subsidize teams coming, has anyone done a financial model that looked at: 1). UH will travel to play all conference games away, 2). UH will welcome any conference member wishing to schedule and play UH in Hawaii (unsubsidized). This may mean an abbreviated home schedule doninated with teams wishing to come and play, but if this means survival in conference vs dying as an independent. One would have to look at all options to keep a program alive, or face the fact that it cannot be financial viable and drop the program.
Being located in the middle of a very large pond does not allow us to think like Fresno State or Boise, or even SDSU for that fact. Being so disconnected, we need to see our business model as unique and find solutions that are not in the mainstream.
Life for UH athletics would be a little easier with more UH alums like Stretch representing da green and white 24/7/365!
Stretch for Governor. Move over MUFI, theres a new guy in town.
Star-Advertiser, you hiring? I think Powderpuff can do the job.
Peace out, be safe.
Drink with you later.
Nice job PP on Stretch…he truly is one who ‘puts his money where his mouth is’, and is a strong supporter of UH
Congrats to Kia, make the most of the opportunity…good luck and God Speed
Good morning Tsaikos, we’re still here………auryte 🙂 🙂
Happy Cinco De Mayo.
Happy Boys Day.
It’s Kids Day, buy a newspaper.
(all proceeds go to the Advertisers Staff children)
Good Morning Gangeez! 🙂 🙂 🙂
If there was an All-America team for fans, Stretch would be on the first team. A man’s man, a fan’s fan and one of the nicest guys anyone could hope to know.
Here’s wishing every success to Kia!
somebody goad stretch into a bet and if he loses he must attend the first home game in tights.
Good Morning Everybody! Happy Boy’s Day! Happy Cinco de Mayo!
I must agree Stretch is one cool dude. Both friendly and generous.
Good mornint Tsaikos…hope all is well…
Awesome bio on Stretch….woo hoo…PP got it down, now it raises the standards on those who follow….Well, maybe not that much…MWAHAHAHAHAHHA
Good job Stretch and PP….that’s why she’s my cuz…. 🙂
good morning tsai-ko country with a happy keiki kane, cinco de mayo and hump day to all
hippo birdie two ewe Lori.
good luck to AKia.
nice write up pp and my added compliments to go along with the others expressed by everyone. have good day instigator bwhaaaaaaaaaa
Buffoman is correct.
UH needs a sound business model for competing.
It needs to be self-reliant so that the actions of others — Boise State, Fresno State — will have minimal impact.
Boise State is a lovely, restless program. It doesn’t want to be in the WAC, and it will eventually leave. Maybe not to the MWC, but maybe something else will open up. Maybe a new conference?
UH needs to take care of business. And the currency is victories.
I love the line about being secure in “his fanhood.”
Aloha Kakahiaka!
Good bio on Stretch, PP! Stretch is indeed a most generous person and true blue UH alumni & supporter. He is also a very LOUD supporter of UH sports.
Good luck to Kia!
Happy birthday, Lori!
Aloha Kakahiaka!
INTERESTING blog topics today, ST… enough to keep us BUSY!
😆
Stretch is awesome. Generous to a fault and content to live without personal fanfare- and merciless to Warrior opponents…
But he is sometimes a wuss… He told me that in the early days, he found me intimidating… IMAGINE THAT! Bwahahaha! 😈
HiHo!
Oops-
Hauoli Lahanau to Lori Miano!
Happy Birthday to my mom (89) and son-in-law Jason and Happy Cinco de Mayo!
GOOD LUCK, KIA!
ST will have MORE to cheer J-E-T-S- JETS about!
At noon today at Taco Del Mar Ward Avenue 5 lb burrito in 30 minutes and it’s FREE
local media and celebrities on hand, those who don’t make CC, maybe u can go there 🙂
Buuuuuuuuurp
Happy Boys’ Day, everyone! Writing about someone is always much easier when he/she is good people. Too bad the WB blog isn’t part of the regular newspaper, I would’ve bought out the Kids’ Day editions everywhere. 🙂
As I told Rob25, what if I didn’t want to buy from Lt Gov. Duke, but his men instead? Haha!
How is it if I woof down a 5 lb. burrito, my wieght jumps up 10 lbs?
Cuz I had 5 lbs of beer & margaritas to wash it down.
wish i said that department….”And the currency is victories.”
so true.
it is why the coaching profession is the most volatile of all career paths.
Happy birthday to LizKauai’s Mom & son-in-law!
Happy Boy’s Day!
Happy Cinco de Mayo!
Good luck to Ieru in the cold white north!
fat city…
men’s health magazine listed its top fat city’s in america. in the top ten five were from texas including #1 corpus christi, el paso, dallas, san antonio, and houston. not surprising since everything served in texas are of huge portions.
they must have a lot of cattle call’s.
honolulu did show up at #90.
Good morning everyone!
Interesting to see the bio on Stretch. The disturbing thing is that while it is 99% accurate, if not 100%, there is still more (nice stuff) omitted. Give her a couple more column inches, ST. 🙂
hey its my mom’s bday too.
Happy Birthday Al’s mommy!
Here is Stretch’s original autobio from September 6, 2007. I will append PowderPuff’s version to it.
http://home.roadrunner.com/~smurashi/tsai-kos/bios/bio-stretch.html
Good morning everyone!
Big thank you to PP for the bio on Stretch! This past weekend my brother asked me, “What’s Stretch’s first name?” After I said it, my brother exclaims, “I know the guy!” I remember thinking, “Soooo?…half of Hawaii knows him and the other half knows Kekoa!”
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LORI All those weekends of being there early to sign-up all the anxious participants…the keiki of the state have benefited magnificently!
The very best wishes go out to Liz’s mom and son in law!
And more best wishes to Al’s mom!
Hauoli Lahanau!
Happy Birthday al’s mom!!

re: #43 Buffoman: May 5th, 2010 at 7:09 am and #54 ST –
Buffoman: great ideas – never thought of it that way.
Mebbe you should forward this to JD; he might not have thought of it this way.
Aloha.
Here’s the good news Stretch
Meet your polar opposite
What was that sound?
G-u-l-p
…I don’t think so…never in a thousand years
Anyway nice bio, composite, sketch by pp
I always admired your humbleness
UH is fortuitous to have a great supporter like yourself.
Hats off. Cheers.

Coach Miano
Coming out of Spring practice, how would you compare this year’s defense to last year’s.

Coach Miano
Of the incoming recruits, do you see any player or players who may have an immediate impact.
Coach Miano ~~ What position will Kamalani Alo be playing?
Coach Miano
Has Lola Tonga postponed his mission and will he be seeing playing time in the defensive backfield or are there plans to move him to LB or DL?
Happy birthday to Al’s Mom!
Congratulations to curveball and the ‘ohana on the new arrival! Yay!
Coach Miano,
What are your thoughts on the walk-on group from this spring?
Any player or players that stood out? Kawika Borden looks like an intriguing player with good size.
Congrats Curveball! Welcome to the world, Change-up!
Congrats Curveball, and welcome little Mia!
Cassy still leading by 1 with 4 to play
I really should take the time to refresh the blog and scroll to the top to see ST’s updates. I just only realized Coach Miano is a guest on an impromtu edition of the Warrior Beat Show.
ST,
Any chance can get Coach Rolo and R. Lee on the show soon?

Whoo-hoo!
Greetings Everybody!
Special good wishes to all celebrating their happy occasions!
PP – Mahalo for an excellent piece of journalism showcasing “our” Stretch…and Stretch, please be my friend…now and for always. Now, Stretch, may I share my memory of our first meeting. No?…too bad, here it is anyway. It was years ago at my first CC…a buffet lunch at a motel near the airport. What I remember most is your genuinely warm smile which brightened up the room and actually enveloped me in a feel-good and loving way. I didn’t know many Tsaikos at that time, but somehow I knew that it was the beginning of a beautiful and lasting relationship with ST and the Warrior Beat Blog…my lucky day, indeed.
Cassy is the HHSAA Girls Golf Champion!!!!
Bravo for Cassy!!!
And, happy Boy’s Day!
Aside of the liquid refreshment, is there any other particular reason we should celebrate a battle victory by the Mexican army over the French army in the 1860’s?
Maybe it is reason enough?
HA!
Woooooooooo hooooooooooooooo, Cassy! It may be Boys’ Day, but you are THE girl today. Congratulations! Did you do what Oprah says to do? Visualize the prize…and it will be yours. Awesome!
Final WAC Regular Season NCAA Softball RPI has Rainbow Wahine at #15
(For complete RPI rankings, click on my blog name.)
Congrats to the “Ball” family on the latest arrival!
Speaking of liquid refreshments, has anyone tried “Crystal Skull Vodka”?
Apparently it’s the creation of actor Dan Akroyd, who’s apparently a few pork hash short of his full box of manapua nowadays. 😯

Congratulations to Cassy!
Stephan ~ did Blaze Soares get to sign with the Bears? have you heard anything from Rocky Savaiigaea if he got to sign with the 49ers? and what happened with RJ Kiesel-Kauhane, he did so well at pro day, did he get invited to any mini camps or sign with anybody?
Aaron Kia played every game in UH’s ’09 season and got nothing but praise from his coaches. he has the height, reach, strength, quickness and agility necessary to play in the NFL. he didn’t get signed by the 49er’s after mini camp, but he got an invite to OTA on the 15th with the Jets (JETS-JETS-JETS!) and depending on his “try-out” will see if he’ll get an offer to sign. how is it that Brashton Satele, who did not play football at all in the ’09 season, is a bit on the smaller side by NFL standards, although did well at pro day in strength, quickness and agility, got an invite to Jets (JETS-JETS-JETS!) mini camp and signed a 3 yr contract with them on saturday? HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? and i’m not hating on Brashton! i think he’s adorable and well raised and i want nothing but great things for him in life! i’m just saying…HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN?! magic fairy dust?? cuz i hope Aaron get’s his fair sprinkling of that same magic fairy dust if you know what i mean!
Good evening Tsaiko Nation, Excellent bio on Mr Stretch as Powder Puff can really write among the best writers that the Advertiser or Bulletin can put together in one writing room !
I first met Mr. Stretch on my landing in New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl as I knew NO LOCAL TASIKOS at the time as I saw this TALL guy in front of me while I was trying to find the rental and he recognize me right away and told me his blogged name as I gleem with laughter and a BIG hug to finally meeting the name Stretch on the Warrior Beat Blog !
As we got aquainted he pointed me in the right direction and took a picture with me as I have it today among the MANY Tsaikos that I have met over the years.
A wonderful gentlemen with a GREAT heart as I ran into him again at Harrahs in Las Vegas as once again he pointed me in the right direction where Tsaikos were meeting and when I turned around to look back for him he was GONE as the gambling fever got to him with that bottle green Heineken beer NO MORE in sight !
Mr. Stretch a “CLASS ACT” all the way as “MAHALO” kind sir for your GREATNESS !
36 – I truly believe that. We should dominate the WAC year in year out in every sport we play. No excuses!
I like what JD is cooking. Soon enough there will be enough talent in Manoa to do just that.
Win every WAC game no matter what!

congrats to Cassie and welcome to the new addition to the ‘Ball’ ohana, haha 🙂
ST
caught the end of the show with coach miano, mahalo for the plug for ‘the beast’ as a fullback, and coach went on to talk about reagan mauaia and his career. really good feedback on the work ethic and attitude of ‘the beast’ from coach 🙂
the summer should be filled with challenging workouts from coach heff, and i like miano’s reference to yoga for stretching for the players…..interesting 🙂
bikram yoga.. preach it preach it preach it
Namaste.
The Warrior Beat show today was almost glitch-free for me. I wonder if the new pepah will continue an online content, video and live broadcasts?
ST ~ Is there anyone we can write to asking the new management to retain you? You & Leila do such a great job in this area.
Yes the beast should runneth with the balleth.
duffer….how did the kid do?
After listening to Miano I am wondering if UH will be deep kimchi if Moniz is not the starter come the USC game?
@ al,
Not too good! -:(
Trying the WB Show tomorrow.
Meetings were brutal today.
Nytal!
Oh!
Good luck to Kia and Ieru!!!
Feature article about Bess and RGM in the Miami Herald. It is interesting that they point out how everybody talks about the similarities between Bess and RGM, but Miami might not want players that are too similar in their 53-man roster.
Nice note about the bond between Bess and RGM.
Stretch: What do you mean, you’re an old fut on the blog? How about in real life, too? I mean, the only reason why you let us shave your head is because all the hair was falling out already! 😉
Nah, that was a great read, thanks Powderpuff. Stretch is one of the most kind-hearted, generous people I’ve ever met.
But every time I see him, I think what went wrong in my life. I got good grades, and I live a clean life; now I’m poor and single (my students are telling me I need a girlfriend; one says I have no hope!). Meanwhile, Stretch is a successful engineer, he has a wonderful wife, plenty of friends who love him—and his secret was to pass all his classes with Cs and drink beer! 😛
Jason,
No forget Stretch is also a “K-E-O Man”.
(I dunno how to do the Greek alphabet on here.)
YO KAZZ!!!
MAJAM AND IWATA ON LEAHEY AND LEAHEY RIGHT NOW!
I figgered you’d wanna know good buddy! 😉
Wooooooo-hooooooo!!!
Cassie took states! 🙂 🙂 🙂
🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
Nuff said.
DPK,
I know it sounds weird BUT I had a feeling they’d have someone representing softball on L&L tonight.
Just process of elimination.
Softball has been hot and they’ve talked about it several times on the show so with them leaving for the WAC tourney next week it was inevitable.
I’m not even home but I do have the DVR set up. 😎
Umm… Where did everybody go?
I swear it wasn’t me who farted. 😳
Hi Kazz!
Hey JM!!!
Congrats to Cassy!
Congrats to Kawika Shoji. Named AVCA Natl. POY.
Congrats (grudgingly) to Kawika Shoji. How is it that AVCA and MPSF teams, etc are so different?
Speaking of men’s volleyball, congrats to former Warrior libero Vernon Podlewski on being named MPI girls vb coach! Go Owls!
Mahalo Nui Duffer for making Cassy believe in herself that she can!
Congratulations Cassy! Wow! Makes the shellacking I received last year that much special! =)
Stretch- now das one braddah with a BIG heart!
JM- last time I recall, your bread pudding still da ono-est! CHEEEEEEHu!
oh great, a-joe finally surfaces and he’s trying to get more bread pudding. 😉
Will there be a Tsai-ko table (or two) at the men’s volleyball event at the Outrigger this Sunday? If so, who’s doing the organizing since a table (or two) needs to be reserved? Is there space still available? If there’s no table set aside so far, is there any interest in getting one since reserved tables are always in the best part of the room.
WDoc,
Not planning to attend. Traveling.
Celebrity Fit Club Diet…

Congratulations to Kawika Shoji!
Met UH baseball alum Sam Kakazu, Jr. tonight. He was at Tiki’s with his friend Richard from WA, and I got to listen to stories from them & Don Weir. Hope Tiki’s sold a lot of margaritas to support UH Letterwinner’s & Na Koa.
W-Doc,
I’m not going to the volleyball dinner. Enjoy, if you go.
WDoc – not planning to attend. See below for the reason…

Traffic outlook for Friday: very light (Furlough Friday)
Good Evening Tsaikos and Tsaikettes!
Nice to see the bios are back. Really enjoy reading them. Great bio on Stretch, PP. Everyone who knows Stretch has something to add. One thing I know about Stretch is that he gets a lot done without seeming to do a lot. Hmmm….what I mean to say is that he makes it seem so effortless. He’s a great guy.
Happy Boys Day!
Okay – I’ll bite…..Who’s Cassie – besides one of my two remaining cats who was named after Cassiopeia, the constellation in the northern part of sky. Cassie The Cat picked us up one late one night in Crane Park back in August, 1998 when she was about the size of my right hand -including her tail. When we pulled into our driveway, I looked up and there was The Queen shining in all her glory.
nytal!
wow. how do these stupid spam bots work? PP just writes something about Peter Pan in Stretch’s bio and tada! we get post #128
kazz…i hope you caught the leahey n leahey show tonight. kelly and jessica were the guests.
Hiya!
Cassy is a teenage Maui golfer that whopped @$$ of some respectable Tsai-kos on the links . She’s playing in the State tourney, I’m guessing.
ST- check your email.
Nitey nite and TSWEET TSAI-KO DREAMS!
and cassy won the state individual women’s title.
i believe that duffer is also one of the volunteer youth coach’s that has been helping her develop her game.
Have a thrilling Thursday everyone!
It is May. Still snowing up on the hills.
Where is Spring?!?!?!
What the heck is going on?

Congratulations to Monika Eggens, All-MPSF 1st Team for Water Polo!
Whoo-hoo!
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
great post as usual!
Thanks again everyone for the nice comments made on PP’s well written bio on me.
ST – It’s time to learn about others, who’s next??
Good Morning Tsaikos!

al,
She’s just a good friend of the kid. Other than kicking my behind when we’ve played, she’s got her own swing coach.
Although, if it wasn’t for the tsunami, Stretch and PP would have easily beaten her, or so I’m told. 🙂
Great Morning All!
Good to read about Chancellor Hinshaw signing off on the student activity fee. It sounds like a good balance has been found for most of the parties involved.
Clear eyes, full hearts can’t lose!
