Luck of the draw.

I had lunch today with my brother. He flew in from Indiana. He says that
Waikiki was pretty much deserted, which was a strange thing to see. No
tourists from China, Japan, Canada, etc. My brother likes it that way.
Tomorrow, he flies to Oakland, then he's off to Asia. He likes to wake
up at 5AM and run around Leahi crater (Diamond Head) and then run around
Ala Moana Park. He says it's an 11 mile circuit. My brother is not like
you or me.
For lunch we had an old time Hawaiian dish - beef cutlet. This was a
popular plate lunch item back in the 60's - 70's. These days, we don't
see it so much in menus. My uncle used to prepare beef cutlets for his
lunch wagon. I remember him in a little shack pounding sliced beef in
cracker crumbs on an aluminum pan. It made a crunching sound that I can
still hear to this day.
