The Honu brings Good Luck!

I am grateful for digital cameras and for an inexpensive sleeve to take underwater. This is why I love snorkeling! It's like life...there are many treasures under the surface.

I Am Humble...but We Still Have Bragging Rights

BYU Cougars win the bragging rights for the next year by downing the Utes 17-10. My life is so much easier at work when we win.

We take a lot of guff for doing the haka...some will complain that the haka is an sacred Aotearoan (New Zealand) Maori rite.

...why then does the New Zealand's All Blacks rugby team do it at each match and for an Adidas commercial, nonetheless?

Ka Mate
Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka ora! Ka ora!
Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka ora! Ka ora!
Tenei te tangata puhuru huru
Nana nei i tiki mai
Whakawhiti te ra
A, upa ... ne! ka upa ... nie!
A upane, ka upane ... whiti te ra!
Hi!

English translation
I die! I die! I live! I live!
I die! I die! I live! I live!
This is the hairy man
Who fetched the Sun
And caused it to shine again
One upward step! Another upward step!
An upward step, another ... the Sun shines

Happy Thanksgiving

My first official post will be one of gratitude. Hopefully everyone had a great dinner and nap. I am thankful for Mrs. Tiki, the light in my life. I have such wonderful keiki, Troy, Kim, Korban, Savannah, Nycole, Nathan, and Marinda.

Foremost I am grateful for my Savior. I know I can do nothing without His assistance. His glorious priesthood is here on the earth in full force.

I am thankful for a comfortable home, reliable transportation, a good job, and great health!

May God bless you all!
