October 15, 2011: All my life I've wakened every morning excited about what I'll experience & learn that day. I usually start the day by looking up a new-to-me fact, but definitely when I need a mental break from paperwork or practicing I briefly go looking for something new to learn. My blog is about anything I learn on any subject. I hope you will enjoy exploring this path with me.

The traditional Hawaiian thanksgiving celebration is called Makahiki. Makahiki lasts from November through February, and during this time all are forbidden to engage in work and war. It is a time of celebrating harvests with religious ceremonies, luaus, and competitive games.
