There’s a reason why our heads are above our hearts and everything else.

We’re often feeling “trapped” over things that we fantasize or crave or simply wish. But let’s breathe deep and ask ourselves, do we really need it? Is it right?

Because right is something that doesn’t change no matter what angle. And it always has a final say. It doesn’t even require explanation, nor justification.

And because of its powerful nature, right leads us to move forward, way forward—which again—is always a cherished destination.

Bottom line and to reiterate: Right always has a final say. It makes things fall in the appropriate places that make sense.

We, humans are warm-blooded,

To be in that kind of cold place,

We are putting our bodies

Into great strain,

Especially me who’s coming from Hawaii.

So, sorry Siberia—

I can’t stand the freezer.

I love the old Italian ambience:

It makes me feel like

I’m in the scene of The Godfather.

My most favorite in their menu:

Garlic Parmesan Wings and Spaghetti Carbonara—

I forget my diet when I am at Bucca—

One of the best in Honolulu.

That’s why I don’t understand,

Why they’re closing?

It saddens me.

Because once a restaurant becomes a favorite joint

And that it last for decades—

It becomes a part of the community.

So losing them,

Creates a void.

Personal:

To Bucca Di Peppo of Honolulu:

You’re the best!

Thank you for serving good Italian foods for decades!

Thank you for singing on countless of birthdays;

You made us feel special.

You would be missed. . .

Terribly. . .

Guaranteed!

Youth may have abandon me,

But wisdom took her place.

I’m becoming quiet,

Discerning the noise over relevant.

My gray hairs would speak

That I am wiser than ever before.

In moving, such as walking,

I maybe slower;

But please,

Drop the suffixes,

Because I am not competing with anyone.

I am grateful that I had my time and

I have enjoyed most of it.

Thank you, yesteryears!
