Last night, my producer Ernie Petrangelo, Michelle, the kids, and I all converged on The Tennessee Meema's house for a great evening of "HAWAII"!

Between tests at the hospital, work, and all the "catch up"...   

An evening at Meema's was just what the doctor ordered! 

We barbecued ribs (terriyaki style), and "talked story". 

As you might recall, Ernie met Michelle and I in Honolulu for our pit stop on our way to Japan. 

He was going to celebrate his 50th birthday Island style! 

Did he ever  :)

He was already tanned and fit from his beach gig on Block Island (off the coast of Rhode Island) and he fit right in. 

Actually, a Japanese tourist on Waikiki stopped to inform him, "You look like summer!"

LOL!

Beach bummin', snorkling, sight seeing, eating Pho Mihn, Korean Barbecue, sushi, and lots of tropical fruit, hangin' with my high school buddies Chris and John, AND taking his first SURFING LESSONS, he lived LARGE!

Yeah, buddy (Braddah)!

So, anyway, last night he brought some cool pictures and video he took from the trip, and a surfing movie for all of us to watch.

At the end of the evening, Meema and the kids VERY seriously informed Ernie, Michelle, and me that next time...

We were NOT leaving them behind!!!

ALOHA!
