I spent the weekend with friends up in Cape Canaveral and had a wonderful time splashing in the crashing waves of the ocean and swimming in the pool. What a great way to...

I haven't seen the movie Bucket List and it wasn't until I saw the first ads for it that I even heard the term. Bucket List -- the things you want to do before you kick...
For everyone who says that we don't have seasons in Florida, allow me to alter your impression. We have tourist season, hurricane season, spring break season, mini-lobster...
Whatever you imagine it's like to be published . . . Well, let's just say you might not want to hold on to those ideas too tightly. There are a lot of myths and...
My parents used to throw wonderful dinner parties. Okay, Dad hosted, but to be honest, Mom did all the work most of the time. I remember Dad's colleagues and their...
I've been sort of lax on my blogging, but since I linked you to cute manatee pictures and a feel good story, I hope you forgive me. It's been a crazy busy week,...
Maybe it's me, but I don't think I can blog about anything more interesting today than the recent rescue of a baby manatee. The pictures of the little calf are too cute....

This past weekend, I saw two separate news stories about classic rock 'n roll bands replacing their lead singers. Sure, that rates no more than a shrug with a lot of...
It's starting to heat up in the Keys. On our walks, I've noticed that Nat and Pyxi don't care much for the higher temperatures. I decided to help them stay cooler by...
Sorry to be behind on blog posts. I was away on a day job-related conference late last week and didn't return home until yesterday evening. The first hour or so home...
