Lobster in his pants
I can only imagine what the 911 call about a man who was spearfishing in lobster sounded like, especially when the Florida Marine and Wildlife guys came upon this man with two lobster tails in his pants. My Dad sent this to me, and I thought “this definitely fits into a pants stuffing trifecta.” However, [...]
Beach Vacation 2010: The Final Day
Alligator Point, Fla – This Thursday was my final day at the beach here in Florida, where the sun normally shines and the white sand typically contrasts the shimmering gulf waters. But this day brought nothing but rain, rain and more rain as Hurricane Alex’s feeder bands dumped raindrops on our heads from dawn to [...]

When we stay at Beachcomber, I believe one of my favorite houses of all time, I end up taking over the converted porch-to-room. This year, with some furniture moves and a bit of remodeling, I now have a big bed with a pillow top mattress, television and cable box to go along with this spectacular [...]

We have arrived at Alligator Point! And for the first time since beginning to come here in 2006, the family has WIRELESS internet and cell signal! More updates coming later. We’re still all unpacking and I just got the wireless hooked up.
One day left until vacation…
I’m super excited about this year’s family vacation to our favorite spot on the Gulf Coast, Alligator Point, Fla. Fortunately for us, we’ve heard no report of oil washing up on that shoreline yet, and the Florida beaches remain open. You might remember posts from previous years about my summer vacations down there with the [...]
Why the oil spill is an economy killer
For more than 40 days now, BP – formerly British Petroleum but now just “BP” – has failed time after time to cap the steadily leaking oil well in the Gulf of Mexico. And from the looks of these two Newsweek articles on the political fallout and the fact that BP and the federal government [...]
