Shamalama Smothered Chicken at the Twisted Fork
Reading Time: < 1 minuteMy mom’s love language is food. Consequently, I love to eat. Mom loves me and it shows. I found a meal at a restaurant at the Twisted Fork in Florida that is the best meal I’ve ever eaten anywhere. And that’s saying a lot. I have a favorite restaurant, Buffet City,… Read more

My Space
Reading Time: 4 minutesHere in Florida one of the fun things we get to experience regularly is watch, from about 200 miles away, the launch of rockets from Cape Canaveral/Kennedy Space Center. What we actually get to see is hit and miss, depending on the clouds and whether it’s a day or night launch, but… Read more

Ordinary People and Superpowers
Reading Time: 4 minutesI’ve been busy in productive (rather than time wasting) activity the last several weeks. I’m focusing on pulling together everything I’ve written in the past for the Thinking 2 Steps Ahead book and trying to find a workable structure for it. It is a mighty struggle.

If You’re Waiting for a Sign…
Reading Time: < 1 minuteDo you ever look for signs? Not road signs or street signs. You know, signs from God that something you’re thinking or doing is the right or wrong thing.

Spring Break on Boca Grande
Reading Time: 5 minutesMichele (one of my best friends and my most consistent beach buddy) and I went to the beach on Friday. It’s early in the year and we haven’t been to the beach, one of our favorite places, for a while. Our normal beach of choice is the 9th Street beach access at… Read more

Groundhog Day At The Beach
Reading Time: 4 minutesBig news this week….Punxsutawney Phil (PP) didn’t see his shadow, portending that we’d have an early Spring. No one really takes him seriously though, since in the 138 years folks have been paying attention to him on February 2 each year, he’s only been right 39% of the time. I don’t give a… Read more

Going Cold Turkey
Reading Time: < 1 minuteI’m not losing any weight. I feel better, the fasting is going well, but the weight is stubbornly not coming off. I listened to some fasting YouTube videos while puzzling yesterday to see if I’d soak up any motivation or be inspired to weight loss excellence. I randomly picked this video… Read more

The Guest Test
Reading Time: 5 minutesWhen you live in Southwest Florida, weather wise, winter is the most magnificent time of the year. Someone once told us that there ARE two seasons in Florida, wet season and dry season. I contend that dry season could also be called guest season because dry season in Florida coincides with winter… Read more
