No classses in town, just party, party, party. Mostly in Waikiki. There is some action in the classy hotels on the Waianae Coast but not for us common folk. They will wait on you Hand and Foot, but charge you an Arm and a Leg. Later for them, much later.

"Keep the smile, Leave the tear, Think of joy, Forget the fear, Hold the laugh,

Leave the pain, Be joyous, Coz it’s a new year! Happy Holidays!

For sure Waikiki is getting seedier by the day. The traffic is bad on week days and gets worse on Week Ends. It is getting more cheap carnival kine. So the Hotel String going up to the Airport is going to get some action. It was there at one time but advertising had all gone to Waikiki. Now the locals are leading in the action towards the West Coast.

Then too Waikiki is coming into its own with the new Waikiki Social Dance Club. Different than the ordinary dance clubs in town that must adhere to a regimen set down by American and International styling associations. The revolution has not been long in coming since they started to lose so many dancers.

It is coming back strongly now in the mix of the club dancer with the ordinary beginning ballroom dancer. Some standard basic movements that have been there for centuries are beginning to be accepted because they are easy and do not require hours of practice or teaching by ultra professionals.

We must give them all the help we can give, and hope for the best for the dancers. That is, the ones that do the dancing for fun, not for the others.

Yes, we have too many new gadgets available:
