“You know the word ‘haole’? I’m impressed.” I let myself laugh. “One of my college roommates was Hawaiian. It was his favorite nickname for me when he spotted me doing ‘white boy things,’ as he put it.” “What are ‘white boy things’?” “Watching or playing lacrosse. Eating Jell-O. Drinking Red Bull and vodka. Driving an Acura.”
