About Me

My photo
Mike'itect
Mike'itect is nobody special, judging by the amount of his life he's spent waiting in lines. He was a first generation Howdy Doody and Captain Kangaroo TV program watcher and favored the Lone Ranger, Davy Crockett, Daniel Boone and Zorro as role models in his early years. Having grown up in a Midwest university town surrounded by corn and soybean crop land, the second half of his life has been, and is being, experienced under the influence of the heritage and traditions of his youth combined with the culture and customs of his beloved latter home of adoption, Hawai'i nei. A former adventurer and risk-taker, Mike'itect intentionally became a family man and professional and expects to continue happily that way to the end. At the present, however, he leads the most boring daily life of anyone he knows. Top three anyway, but ehh, ... t'ings stay changing already!
