Pau? Already? The Bishop Museum's last summer 2005 Moonlight Mele on the Lawn concert is at 7 tonight. The Makaha Sons will be jamming on the museum's smaller-but-still-Great Lawn. Doors open at 6 p.m., so there'll be time to check out the newest exhibits, "Na Akua," "Journey with a King" and "Reptiles: Real and Robotic." (Museum members get to come in at 5:30 p.m.) Pick up some dinner on site and nosh, picnic-style. Entry is $15 ($10 for members, Bank of Hawaii customers and employees; $5 kids 4 to 12). Information: 847-3511.

    FINAL WORD

    "That was the period where I was chewing Nicorette. And then I started smoking again, but I didn't stop the Nicorette. And I swear on my children's lives, I was going to bed at night and having palpitations and having to get up and drink some wine to put myself in a sufficient stupor."
