Lost Sole Dedication for Catfish
One of my best friends here in Florida for several years has been my volleyball party Jeff, aka The Angry Catfish, but has been shortened to just Catfish. I think there are even some that play out there that do not even know his real name 🙂 Just a day before this...
Happy Birthday Noah
Well, the day has come and gone, one that have both looked forward to and dreaded. It was an emotional few days with periods of grief that hit out of nowhere and will such force you can't hold it in. And moments of happiness. On July 31st, what would have been his...
Noah’s Birthday Balloons
Well I can't believe it has been a whole year since that tragic day when we lost our sweet angel Noah. It seems like just yesterday. The pain in my heart is just as intense as it was then. Fortunately it is not always at the surface like it was. I think I have locked...
Murder in Pensacola
Unless you live in a cave without any news, you have probably heard about the double murder that transpired here in Pensacola on July 9th, 2009, a little over a week ago from writing this entry. The details of this case are still a little unclear. What they have...
Nora weighing in at 3lbs 6 oz. @ 31 weeks
We had yet another ultrasound, and once again all is good. She is growing normally, a little on the small side of normal, but that is not a bad thing because she is growing symmetrically. we found out that she already has hair growing and the hole in her heart has...
Lost Sole #300!!
Cannot believe I actually have photographed 300 lost soles. Seems as if just yesterday I got the idea to take the photos, thinking how cool it would be to get 100 of them 🙂 And the good news is that I have no one to dedicate this lost sole to, that means no one...
NorasLife.com, a 365 Inspiration
I have recently started a new photography project called the 365 Project as most of you know. it has recently taken off and hope it can grow. Through this experience I began thinking how cool it would be when Nora is born to start taking a photo a day focusing on her...
Nora is growing
We had another ultrasound. This time we got feedback about how Nora is growing. She is currently around 2 lbs. putting her in the 40th percentile, meaning she is growing perfectly. We got see her face for a brief moment because she seems to be a little camera shy and...

Announcing the start of the 365 Project
Over the past year or so I have been coming across people doing something they call The 365 Project. It is where for an entire year they take a photo every day and post it. It always seemed pretty cool and something I wanted to do, but never got around to it. Well I...
Hurricanes and Tornados
All my life I have been fascinated by the earth's systems, from geology, biology to meteorology. Early in life I studied the dinosaurs, by age 5 I was saying names like Tyrannosaurus Rex and Stegosaurus. My mom treated me like a freak when she made me tell friends and...
Our new home
It has been over a month since we moved into our new home. We are very excited to have landed this place. It is a unique home that is still within the same neighborhood that we love so we can still see all of our great North Hill neighbors when we walk the dogs. Plus we got a great deal on it, it really is a buyer’s market.
Nora, an early mover and a shaker
We had another ultrasound and checkup yesterday to monitor the progress of Nora and the pregnancy. All is going well, nothing much to report which is a good thing at this point. "No Gnews is good Gnews". (anyone know where that quote is from? 🙂 But one thing we have...
Falling Out of The Van
Skippy, you will be happy to know, this is not another story about you. In addition to the Opel, another legendary vehicle I owned was The Van. It was a copper 1989 Toyota Mini Van. I had bought it on a credit card from a dealership in Cincinnati during a bad...
Fireballs and Mace in South Ghetto
Well I am going to write yet another Skippy story, but hey, what can I say, we had some fun times. I mentioned our apartment in Columbus' South Ghetto in the Opel story, but did not go into much detail. And I am sorry to say the stories about the "G" spot bar we...

A killing rampage hits home.

Another lost soul
During our pregnancy with Noah we received a lot of gifts from friends and family around the country and such via UPS. It seemed like the driver was knocking on the door everyday for a bit. He knew we were expecting a little boy. So one day, he knew we were past the...
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery or…
just plain stealing!!! Read part of a plot from a film released last year and tell me it isn't a little too close to what I am doing? Soft Shoe: Alex Holdridge’s “In Search of a Midnight Kiss” "The further unveiling of Vivian’s softer side continues as she and Wilson...
My poltergeist
This subject may be a little out there for some, you can believe what happens to me, or not. Hell sometimes i can barely believe what happens. As most of you know whether you know me or have just read my blog you know I am a prankster. I get great pleasure messing...
A dedication to “The Purple-Haired, Pixie-Sized Artist”
I found out today from Linda, the Glove Lady, that a friend of hers whom I had met during her exhibit at the Wentworth Museum died yesterday. Her name was McKenzie Oerting, a very talented artist that succumbed to colon cancer at the age of 54, which seems oddly...
Jason the Hitman, Apple Downtown, Instant Justice, Superfly Adams
Jason the Hitman, Apple Downtown, Instant Justice, Superfly Adams. Now there is a nickname! but what's funny is every part of that name actually has some sort of story behind it and fits my friend Jason's personality perfectly. But i am not going to get into those...
Message from Noah? Or coincidence?
n many of my blogs i have spoken about finding kid’s Crocs as lost soles, most notably, Noah’s Croc. (Click here to read about Noah’s Croc) I think it is not by accident I find them.
The Opel, an urban assault vehicle
The previous stories I have written focused on a character in my life who enhanced it through unforgettable events based around friendship. This story is basically the same, except about a different type of friendship, one of a man and his vehicle. Cars have been...
