Bravo KCP
Thursday, my wife and I enjoyed a wonderful play presented by the Kaua‘i Community Players at the Puhi Theatrical Warehouse.
“The Dixie Swim Club” by Jessie Jones, Jamie Wooten and Nicholas Hope, directed by Jo Grande, was funny, poignant and entirely entertaining.
The five local actors were great and there is not a bad seat in the house — fortunate, since the theater was packed with a sell out crowd for the opening night showing.
We were not disappointed. Keep your eyes and ears open for Vernadette — she is the sleeper of the cast — who deadpan delivers some of the funniest lines in the play.
This is not the first production we have enjoyed at this little theater, but it was among the most entertaining. The play is scheduled to be performed on Friday and Saturday evenings with an afternoon matinee on Sunday afternoons through March 31.
If you want to spend a couple enjoyable hours watching live theater, then don’t miss it!

Bring your own whine
The place: Costco, Lihu‘e.
The event: All us cantankerous, silly folks who loved to scream and yell and swear at each other on the discussion site. We miss it.
The time: Monday, around 1 to 1:15 p.m., or thereabouts.
I’ll be there, I’m on pizza duty.
You can come anonymous. Pretend you’re not there. Slink around taking pictures for the FBI, CIA, Naval Intelligence and local cop files.
Better get a good one of me or I’ll sue when I see my dossier.
Please check your weapons — drones, assault or otherwise — at the door
I won’t be wearing a name tag ‘cause I’m infamous.

Kudos to the DMV
An open letter to Mayor Bernard Carvalho Jr.:
Some good news for you.
I would like to take this opportunity to let you know about the wonderful service I received Friday from your employee Callie at the Lihu‘e Department of Motor Vehicles registration office.
I had what my 70-year-old brain thought was a complicated question and Callie cheerfully and professionally walked me through the steps I would need to take to proceed with an out-of-state registration.
She provided me with a list of requirements, the required forms and answered all my questions.
I thought that you would like to hear a bit of positive news about one of your very knowledgeable workers.

Welcome CMOs for better health
CMO, or Consciously Modified Organism, is a term for a few of the 7 billion humans inhibiting this planet who have trained their mind to be able to focus for long periods of time.
And through this mind training process, have developed intuition, abilities and a relaxed or peaceful state of awareness. They apply this awareness to everything they think, say or do.
They carefully base this state on extending affection, unconditional love and altruistic compassion to all others and their environment.
The result is good health, lasting happiness and immortality of consciousness in both a temporal and ultimate sense. This accomplishment is a spontaneous result of practice, which brings one’s natural in union or harmony with the natural universe we live in.
The best symbol for this is a mother’s relationship with her new born child, or how about the living example of the Dalai Lama?

Food to die for
If obesity, heart disease and erectile dysfunction haven’t already stopped you from eating meat — maybe premature death from processed meat will. The evidence in a newly released study of half a million participants is grim. Just one small serving a day of ham, hot dogs, sausage or any processed meat accounts for 1 out of 30 premature deaths.
Diets high in processed meats are linked to cardiovascular disease, cancer and early death, according to the report in the journal BMC Medicine. Eating just one serving a day increases the risk of premature death by 44 percent, while also increasing the risk of heart disease by 72 percent.
Take this grave warning seriously: Skip processed meats all together to avoid the risk of premature death, cancer and heart disease. Leafy greens, legumes and whole grains provide protein without the added risk. In fact, these fiber-rich foods help prevent heart disease in the first place.
