To all the critics of the debate with Joe Biden. Do you think he had a lot on his mind in the debate? His son just got convicted and will go to prison! I know how heavy my heart would be if my son was in that situation! He has done a better job than I thought he would during his presidency! I feel we owe him a little empathy. Hopefully he does better next debate, or passes the baton to someone with less issues to deal with? It is just a job, but it is the most important job in American history… pray for him and his family!

David Paul’s Island Grill (Lahaina, Maui) has closed. “I’m sincerely grateful to the staff and all our customers who have been so supportive of this restaurant,” says Chef/Co-Owner David Paul Johnson. The multi award-winning chef/restaurateur plans to open a small, bistro-style restaurant sometime in late 2012/early 2013. Details will be released/posted as they become available. Gift certificates and awards will be honored by the new restaurant. “Lahaina Center will soon be converted into an outlet mall,” says Johnson, “and we wish the new tenants much success.”
