Wow, Kalau!  This is awesome!  We found the green Treasure Egg!  Kalau...uh, KALAU?

Wha'?  Oh, sorry, cuz!  I was just trippin'.  You know, it doesn't get better than this!

Huh?

Serendipity, Ryder, serendipity.

Kalau, you younger than me, but ever since Braddah Dylan gave you that Kindle, you've been reading tons of books and spitting out these watermelon-size words!  What does SEREN-DIPPITY DOO DAH mean?

Serendipity...it's being mindful of the moment when one accidentally discovers something wonderful or meaningful...kinda like finding an invisible Treasure Egg!

What you trying to tell me?  You just laid an egg?

Sorta...but it's an IDEA EGG.

Okay, I give...Lay it on me, brah!  LAY IT ON ME...ha-ha, cuz, I made a funny!  Is that seren...seren...ah, you know what I mean!

Yeah, I guess so.  But here's MY serendipity.  We may never have this moment again in our lives, Ryder.

What moment is that, Kalau?

When we as men can feel secure in our identity.

Huh?  Whatcha mean by that?

Someday, when we're much older, we will look at a photograph taken of us this very day and deny the moment by joking and acting shame.

Huh?

That I was a cute blue-eared bunny dressed in camou, a cast-off member of the Village People, hooking up with a Hot Chick!

ST. PATRICK'S DAY--THE MYSTERY OF KAUA'S WHEREABOUTS



http://hawaiianodysseus2.blogspot.com/2011/03/st-patricks-day-but-wheres-cousin-kaua.html


Great-grandma Marion A., I love you very much, but I may have missed my flight to the mainland.


My two cousins, Kalau and Ryder, are looking for me.


Can't you folks read my body language?  I'm trying to tell you that I'm anxious to get going!


Hey!  Am I getting through to you guys?


Where's my cellphone?  Gotta call my cuzzes.


Eh, Kalau...Ryder!  Can you hear me?  Sorry I missed the plane ride.  Let me explain.


That Irish coffee was so delicious that I had four cups in a matter of minutes.  I must've passed out in the lobby.  Funny...I thought coffee is supposed to keep me up!


Next thing I know, I'm under house arrest and being grilled by my mom, dad, grandpa, grandma, and great-grandma Marion A.  As you can see, I was trying my bestest to get away from GGMA, but she had a stone cold grip on me.  Kept saying that it was for my own good.


After an hour of detention, they finally let me use my cellphone.


So, I'm here on Kauai, and you guys are over in Oregon.


Eh, you think you can save me some Irish coffee?


What?!?!  You drank it all up already?  Man, you guys humbug!  


Hmmpf!  I stay all nuha now!

Ryder:  Oh, no!  Where's Kaua?

Kalau:  What do you mean?  I thought he was with you!

Ryder:  You think he missed the flight from Lihue?

Kalau:  I dunno.  I was too busy drinking that Irish coffee.

Ryder:  What?!?!  You ordered IRISH coffee for
us?

Kalau:  Yeah, you said you needed a caffeine buzz!

Ryder:  Oh, no, Kalau!  I don't mind the caffeine...but Irish coffee also has whiskey in it!

Kalau:  Now you tell me.  Well, that explains what happened to Kaua.

Ryder:  Whaddaya mean, cuz?

Kalau:  Well...uh...last I saw of him, he was on his third cup!

KEIKI O KA AINA (CHILDREN OF THE LAND)

The Stars of "Hey, Cuz!"
From left to right--KALAU, KAUA, RYDER

These are the children of tomorrow.  


Born just months apart of each other in 2010, they have all made a significant impact on and contribution to their respective parents (and, in the case of Kalau, an older sibling).  

From an epic tale begun years ago by patriarchs and matriarchs (great-grandparents Silas and Marion, for example, but surely others as well) and woven intricately like a tapestry taking on new patterns of its own with the heralding and the passing of each year, we come down to these newest and most welcome additions to the extended ohana.

We revel with each new "first" that each child experiences, and we hope beyond hope that mankind will choose wisdom over selfishness so that these beautiful, joyful, and adorable keiki o ka aina will have many years to explore, experience, build upon, contribute to, and be blessings and assets to their island as well as global communities.

In a world that has seemingly forgotten the intrinsic value of the "little things," may we members of our precious ohana always remember to honor, uplift, share wisdom with, 
and be grateful for our "little ones..."  

They are, after all, our closest earthly links to God and His angels.

So, without further ado, let's "listen in" on the current conversation that these three cousins are engaged in...

KAUA:  Chee, cuz!  It don't get bettah dan dis!

KALAU:  Dat hapa-haole babe at the next table was one good-lookin' wahine!  Shoulda got her stroller plate!

RYDER:  I got room fo' one mo' da kine shrimp tempura!  Well, mebbe...my stomach stahting to make noise.
