Hey, All, Red here. Just got outta the hospital two days ago. Busted up 3 leg bones on December 31. Doctor says that I can’t walk, much less surf, for 3-6 months. So anyways, been reading a lot of old posts etc to pass the time. Since I’m from the Canadian West Coast, I was wondering if you all could give me the rundown on what all these Hawaiian greetings and terms used in the post’s meanings are. I know “Aloha” (I think), but a lotta others just totally confuse me. Ambrose and you other islanders could maybe help me here. Oh, for those of you that Believe in God, I could still use a lotta prayer for healing of the old leg. RedThorn Feenstra
