I spent 2014 MLK day in Washington DC. It was sunny, relatively warm (50's), loud and packed with people. That night a cold storm came through and the next morning it was a completely different place. Cold, quiet and completely void of people. One of my favorite pictures for 2014.

If you find yourself hungry in Waimanalo (east side of Oahu), check out Ono Steaks and Shrimp Shack. It's a mom and pop place with great food.

It’s easy to get caught up in the paradise that is Hawaii but they are not immune to the same social issues like homelessness that affect us on the mainland.  Our thoughts are with everyone in Hawaii, especially the most vulnerable, as these hurricanes hit the islands.

I recently returned from a week on Oahu. Hawaii has a great non-partisan initiative to increase civic engagement including registering and educating voters. http://www.novotenogrumble.org/

The traffic coming from SDCC was horrible, the sunset was not.
