		<description><![CDATA[The time has come to announce the winner of my contest from several weeks ago. The goal was to guess the significance of the phrase AINA LAA, which I liked so much I put it on my California license plates:

First the answer. More properly written ‘Aina la‘a, the words translate straightforwardly to &#8220;sacred land.&#8221; Obviously, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll be traveling back to the mainland so I won&#8217;t be on Kaua&#8217;i for Christmas, but I did get to see some of the season&#8217;s local events.
First off, the Light Parade in Lihue on December 7 was cancelled due to rain. I suppose with all the preparation it takes, they couldn&#8217;t just hold it another [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ll be spending the holidays with my family on the mainland and won&#8217;t be near a computer, hopefully. So Happy Holidays wherever you are and enjoy the following pictures of light displays on Kauai from this [...]]]></description>

I like the sound of the ipu heke, [...]]]></description>
