Happy August! It’s a great time of year to listen to an audiobook
Hello fellow readers and writers. It’s a great time of the year to listen to a novel.

The gloved life
About a year ago I noticed red dots on my right hand which would come and go over the course of a few months.

Berry Islands, Bahamas
The Berry Islands are just 70 miles east north-east of Bimini and 120 miles from Miami, but it seemed like a world away. In part because we work in Bimini and Florida and we’re always on the fly, where Great Harbor Cay allowed total relaxation and exploration.

The homeless problem: From condemnation to compassion
My recent visit to southern California left me frustrated by the rampant homeless problem seizing the golden state. I lived in the heart of L.A for over a decade, and homelessness existed, but it didn’t seem permanent or ubiquitous. Mostly confined to Venice Beach, downtown at Skid Row, and the freeway ramps with beggars holding … Continue reading The homeless problem: From condemnation to compassion

A busy summer’s end: Audible Available
I’ve been crazy busy since hurricane Irma hit Florida. I participated in the largest evacuation in history as the east coast, west coast and most of our state was threatened with the strongest recorded wind, peaking at 180 mph.
