gratituesday 7/22 2008-07-22 10:12:50 Ho’ike on Saturday. Is there anything else happening in life? It’s going to feel weird when we aren’t rehearsing three times a week. It’s intense now.
My house is cleaned and tidy. My housekeeper (who cleans every other week) drives me crazy when she’s late or doesn’t show up. And our language barrier doesn’t help. But [...]
