Ave Maria Wahine

Im a cynic about human nature, which comes with having an overly-analytical mind and paranoid tendencies.

But I like being pleasantly surprised when people come through.

Mars came through, and then some. :-)

I was VERY happy when I saw a package with a Hawai'i postmark...


mars: hi jp...did you get the package yet?
JPennant: Ave maria! :-D

(earlier, in my comments)

ono's is in half moon bay about 2.5 miles north of 92 on the cabrillo highway.
their ono chicken is to die for!
i like it better than shoyu cause its more sweet than salty but falls off the bone like shoyu chicken.
