1 Peter "Above all, maintain constant love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins."
It is easy to love those we have picked to love, but we are to love that guy on the curb, begging and the girl on the corner who may be soliciting. We are to love that co-worker that really pisses us off. The boss that isn't very nice to us, the neighbor whose cat or dog continue to poop in our yard and the politicians that we can't stand the sight or sound of all, fall in this category. You have your work cut out for you today.
On this day
1985 It was a rainy day but I had errands to run. I am fortunate that my garage is attached so I didn't have to take my 5 month old Nicole out into the rain to go to three banks. But then I had to stop at Kroger and shop. I just recall how stressful it is to take your new baby out in inclement weather, or at night, or alone.... well, it was for me. I think the second baby is easier, maybe because you have realized your little one survives all these things in better form than you do. Rain on the face can be a surprising and funny thing to an infant experiencing it for the first time. I love the memories.
1985 - South African authorities hanged black activist Benjamin Moloise. Moloise had been convicted of murdering a police officer. This guy was having a worse day, I wonder if he was guilty considering where he was and the times.
Honolulu Hawaii
Sports[edit]
Honolulu's tropical climate lends itself to year-round activities. In 2004, Men's Fitness magazine named Honolulu the fittest city in the United States.[52] Honolulu has three large road races:
- The Great Aloha Run is held annually on Presidents' Day.
- The Honolulu Marathon, held annually on the second Sunday in December, draws more than 20,000 participants each year, about half to two thirds of them from Japan.
- The Honolulu Triathlon is an Olympic distance triathlon event governed by USA Triathlon and partly by the Japanese. Held annually in May since 2004, there is an absence of a sprint course.
Ironman Hawaiʻi was first held in Honolulu. It was the first ever Ironman triathlon event and is also the world championship.
Fans of spectator sports in Honolulu generally support the football, volleyball, basketball, rugby union, rugby league and baseball programs of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.[53] High school sporting events, especially football, are especially popular.
Honolulu has no professional sports teams. It was the home of the Hawaiʻi Islanders (Pacific Coast League, 1961–87), The Hawaiians (World Football League, 1974–75), Team Hawaiʻi (North American Soccer League, 1977), and the Hawaiian Islanders (af2, 2002–04).
The NCAA football Hawaiʻi Bowl is played in Honolulu. Honolulu has also hosted the NFL's annual Pro Bowl each February from 1980 to 2009. After the 2010 and 2015 games were played in Miami Gardens and Glendale, respectively, the Pro Bowl was once again in Honolulu from 2011 to 2014 with 2016 the most recent.[54][55] From 1993 to 2008, Honolulu hosted Hawaiʻi Winter Baseball, featuring minor league players from Major League Baseball, Nippon Professional Baseball, Korea Baseball Organization, and independent leagues.
In 2018, the Honolulu Little League team qualified for that year's Little League World Series tournament. The team went undefeated en route to the United States championship game, where it bested Georgia's Peachtree City American Little League team 3-0. In the world championship game, the team faced off against South Korea's South Seoul Little League team. Hawaii pitcher Ka'olu Holt threw a complete game shutout while striking out 8, and Honolulu Little League - again by a score of 3-0 - secured the victory, capturing the 2018 Little League World Series championship as well as Hawaii's third overall title at the Little League World Series.[56]
Enjoy the day! Make it memorable! Happy Birthday to John M!!!
