Since I did not make it to the MLK rally, I attended last night’s inaugural ball at the Akeono Theater in Pahoa. A number of my friends were there along with good music, abundant food, and a cash bar. It was a great celebration in true Puna style. It would have been even more enjoyable if my wife were there, but she had to work. Let us hope that we are truly entering a time of real positive change and not just tinkering around the edges of a broken system. Aloha and blessings to all.
