Broken Watermain, Horrendous Traffic Gridlock, and A Big Mahalo

It was Monday night and Lani and I were looking forward to continue sharing our knowledge of the Mambo with our students at the IBDI dance class. It was a long stretch since we last met because of the Memorial Day holiday last Monday. On the way, we hit smack into a wall of cars heading west on K Highway. It was almost like deja vu back in the '80s  when the K Highway was in construction from a two lane to four lanes and the H-One was being built. So it wasn't likely that Lani and I were going to make it in time for our dance class at the Palladium. Fortunately, our son Dean is in our dance class and our assistants Kathy Uehara and Beverly Mau, and our music player Harold Kaneshiro have been very reliable. So this is not about the broken watermain on the K Highway at Aina Haina and the horrendous traffic gridlock. It's about appreciating our corp of dance assistants and music player that helped keeping the dance class going during our absence. Our special thank you to all of you and especially to our son Dean and his dance partner Jennifer Ryan who took hold of the class and led the class in the review of the Mambo steps.
