The ” My Neck Hurts” story
In order to keep on the momentum of the last story in regards to Skippy's ballistic personality I am going to tell the "Myeck hurts" story. Like most of the Skippy stories, this one took place years ago when we were about 19-20 years old. It was Spring Break, one of...
Whose fries were they?
Since the last flashback was so well received I have decided to write another. And partially due to the fact life has been pretty boring due to working so much that I haveot had anything happen lately to write about. So in these dull times I am going to tap into the...
Grab the rope!

Just a little Peanut
It has been almost four weeks since our last doctor's visit which put us at around 11 weeks along, still too early yet to tell the sex of the baby. Which is killing me! We have picked outames but areot going to reveal either one until we know if we have a boy or a...
A Viable Pregnancy.

Hand and Foot Show: Rome, Georgia, Thank you Tommy.
Well despite low turnout, which i attribute to me slacking on the PR end of things, I feel it was a success. It was hung at a beautiful location in a great looking gallery. Hopefully it can be a springboard to getting more venues interested in hosting our show. I do...
Volume 3 is in the works
I have finally gotten inspired to start work on Volume 3. It is hard because this was going to be the Volume that followed the adventures of raising of Noah 🙁 But I am sure he wouldot want me to stop writing. So while I dedicated volume 2, this book will be done in...

Another lost sole dedication
Today Sharon and I were on our way to a "Liquidation Sale" at a local fairgrounds, and on the way I saw a lost sole, but decided I wasot going to photograph it due to the precarious spot where it was on the highway. A few miles down the road when going from I-100N to...
The Hand and Foot Show!
Well the Hand and Foot show this month has snuck up on me fast. I just hope I can find the funds to get my images printed and framed halfway decently. This is a small venue in a small town at a small college, but has BIG implications. This is the first ever Hand and...

More about the lost soles connection to lost souls

Looking back on 2008
It has been a bit since I last blogged. Traveling through the holidays to Ohio and Maryland really was chaotic! I had a wonderful time visiting everyone. I actually had a lot of stories to write about but let them slip out of my head. Probably left them somewhere with...
The world lost another good soul today 🙁
Some months back Sharon and I went down to Port Charlotte for a charity auction benefiting a friend of ours, Rena Dalva, that was diagnosed with cancer. I had donated a manatee painting that I had created for the auction and plus Sharon's sister Rachie was throwing a...
