It’s like this a lot of nights. We’re driving back from town, coming over the Pali. On weekdays, it’s often a little late, a few minutes after 6 p.m. I’m driving. Meda is thinking ahead to the big question–What’s for dinner? We have choices. We can make a stop in Kaneohe and shuffle around like [...]
