Oh man, she was so hot in an episode of Moonlighting called Sleep talkin' Guy. She played a hooker who was sleeping with a guy from the mob, who talked in his sleep. David Addison found out and started paying her for inside info to start cracking cases.
Seemed clever and beautiful.

I caught the Magnum reference but still don't know if Danno was referring to Magnum as a person who inhabits the same tv universe as them (someone real in their world) or as the tv character. I got the impression it was referring to Magnum the show. What do you guys think? I've watched this show eve...

Got my Ellery Queen dvd set this past week. Great show from the mid 70s I remember watching as a little kid. The show scrubs up nicely and the mysteries are excellent, especially the way Jim Hutton as Queen spins around near the finale to ask you, the viewer at home, if you know who did it. Great fu...

I remember first hearing that Magnum was gonna be stabbed to death by a psychopath in the series finale. They changed it to shot and then, he of course survived that. Saddest moment.. Home From The Sea, when Magnum calls out near the end: "I made it dad, why couldn't you?" Makes me think of my own d...

Just thought you guys might want to know that the pilot ep for the new 5-0 is going to be shown on Waikiki beach soon (can't remember the date). They show movies on the beach here and it's unreal. The show is getting a lot of publicity here. I went to an aloha shirt shop recently near Diamond Head a...

You guys are champions. Thanks so much and sorry I've been so quiet lately. My wife and I have been working as much as we can and rented a small (tiny) place in Oahu. I have watched the outriggers going up and down the Ala Moana canal and it does look like a really good way to meet more locals. Will...

I was there 2 weeks ago and after showing my wife the photos above and getting a second opinion from her, we think the pool looked something between those 2 photos above. The hop up to sit on the wall was quite high, higher than I remember it from 18 months prior. Higher than it looks in photo 2. Ho...

Mahalo Styles. I'll check it out.

Thanks guys for the support. Here's the latest from Paradise. My wife, who is American (that explains my visa), has gotten work at a school. 1 hour a day. Yes, 1 single hour a day. I've been finding the same deal. In Hawaii once you work 20 hours a week your employer is obliged to provide you with m...

Just a quick post 'cause I now you guys here would appreciate it- went for a swim in the tidal pool 2 days ago at the Anderson estate. aka Robin's Nest. I've been there before, almost 2 years ago, so believe me when I say the place looks better. They've cleared away some of the brush that was overgr...

I knew everything would be more expensive, just not as much as it is. That would be ok but the schools I'm looking at (I'm a teacher) all seem to be offering part time work. I suspect it's so they don't have to provide you with health insurance, which all companies must give employees who work for m...

OK, here i am in Hawaii. Been here since early Tues morning, so 3 days now. Early impressions are mixed. Japanese culture is very strong here and for someone who has worked in Tokyo for a couple of years, I'm not sure if I feel like going down that road again. There seems to be quite a few homeless ...

Styles, you're right. I know that's the danger...putting it way up there so it can't possible live up to my expectations, so I'm trying to stay level headed about it and have a backup plan over here on the mainland just in case... But am definitely happy to do some of that on the ground sleuthing. A...

Updyke!!?? The man should be answering "Dear Emily" letters!

Little Garwood, man it's good to see another Night Stalker fan out there.

Thanks for the luck, I'll probably need it.

Thanks Higgy baby, most kind of you. :) I will certainly keep you posted and hope to be of help to others here thinking of doing the same. Things what to do and more likely what NOT to do, through my own trial and error. I have been to Hawaii 3 times before and have swum in the tidal pool. The place...
