		<description><![CDATA[Grandma Irene was a remarkable woman. Steady, determined, opinionated, kind, and thoughtful. Few people looked forward to each day with as much enthusiasm. She studied the Bible and went to church regularly, always trusting that God would take care of her. And he did. Grandma died peacefully in her sleep at the age of 104.&#160;...&#160;<a href="http://mcelfresh.org/2013/05/27/irene-steers-1908-2013/" class="read_more">Read&#160;More</a>&#160;&#187;]]></description>

He was the ultimate putterer who loved to figure out how things work, lived a long and full life in good health, had a comfortable retirement that most people only dream about, and died quickly while doing what he loved.

Neither are attractions such as Aloha Tower or Iolani Palace. Even the stunning view from the Pali Lookout is somewhat expected given the beauty of the islands.

Most of us have difficult tracing family roots back more than a few generations beyond grandparents. Maybe that&#8217;s a good thing.

		<description><![CDATA[Truth in advertising, in a literal sense, doesn&#8217;t exist. Advertising exists to inform, persuade, entertain, and all with an ulterior motive to cause a specific action. To separate your money from you. That&#8217;s a bit simplistic but at a basic level it&#8217;s quite true. Here&#8217;s a case in point. Fast internet access.

Do you have a perspective on this? Dennis the Menace was the Calvin and Hobbes of 40 years ago.
