The Erin Cash

Mickey and Shannon along with the Blue Dolfins horde were not on campus five minutes before seeing their first celebrity. Dr. Erin Cash met them and obliged a photo opportunity. We are gathered in the trophy room with both football national championship trophies as we await our tourguide.

Florida Senate Chamber

Great guided tour of the Florida legislature chambers. The picture here is from within the Senate. I could feel myself being called to public service. I could hardly do worse. I'll have to look for a post that needs my help back home and see what I can do. We are off to the Old Capitol.

A View from the Capitol

Doak Campbell stadium can be seen in the distance from the Capitol. This shot was taken from the 22nd floor observation level. This is where we gathered for the beginning of our tour.

Buddhism and Disney

Ana wonders if there are not contrasting ideologies at work as a group of monks enjoy Walt Disney's Magic Kingdom. What do you think?

Red Bicyclette

When making a hearty beef stew, a good dry red wine can add to the flavor and to the fun. Today's choice was this Pinot Noir from Southern France. It is very good. Stay tuned for a rating system to be rolled out very soon.

Put on some shorts, a t-shirt and flip flops and fire up the grill or
slow cooker and relax. It's Saturday.

Florida Fires

As record cold sweeps across the country, people are looking for more
warmth. With another week of cold in the forecast, I have burned
through all our firewood gathered from trimmed trees around the house
and had to take delivery of a truckload.
