Employee Spotlight: Jason Sumibcay
After a 14-year career in hotel guest services, as a sales and leasing consultant Jason is doing what he enjoys most: helping people! He also loves driving all of the new Hondas (he does have his favorites) and the relaxed atmosphere he shares with his co-workers. What does a guy with as much energy as Jason has do in his spare time? Work out at the gym, that’s what! And the fact that it’s right next door to the dealership makes it easy. This eligible bachelor also enjoys playing ukulele, listening to music, going to the movies (action-adventure, suspense, comedy), going to the beach and just hanging out with friends and family in general. His favorite food is… EVERYTHING! Sushi, sashimi, a good steak – you name it, he’ll eat it!

What, Retiring Already?!
Congratulations to Ronald "Ronnie" Kokubun, who retired last month from doing building and property maintenance work for Kitagawa Motors, including Island Auto Center, Island Subaru and Island Honda. We wish you all the best in this next chapter of your life! (An avid fisherman, we can just imagine how much time he'll be spending with rod and reel in hand, instead of his paint brush and tools.) No catch ALL the fish, eh, Ronnie - save some for us non-retirees on the weekends!

Rockumentaries: Documentary Flicks About Your Favorite Musicians
Get In-depth with those who rock your world
We all love to know more about the music-makers who move us, from their personal lives to the motivations for their music. The best way to do this is to take in a "rockumentary" — a documentary about a musician or band. Filled with behind-the-scenes footage, biographical details and analysis about the musician's style and importance, a good rockumentary will fill in all the gaps and teach you everything you want to know about the artists that you love.

Quote of the Day
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense."

Recipe Corner: Uncle Glenn's Boiled Peanuts
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs. raw peanuts
4 T Hawaiian (rock) salt
5 whole star anise (you may prefer to exclude from your recipe if you don't like the taste of star anise)
Water (enough to cover pot of peanuts)
In electric pot (not turned on yet), soak peanuts in water w/salt for 1 hour. Turn pot on high. When water starts to boil, cover pot and cook at 270 degrees for 30 minutes (if you like peanuts crunchy) - longer if you like softer peanuts. (You can check texture along the way by sampling one or two.) Check water to make sure there's still enough to cover the peanuts, If not, add more and bring back to boil. Once it starts to boil, turn off. Leave in pot for 45 minutes.
