09 November, 2017 “Channeling Ernest Hemingway!” OMG JoJo….I guess I must’ve missed writing these installments more than I thought, because after having composed one just yesterday, I found that these thoughts were ones that I was eager to nail down while they were fresh in my mind!! (smile) The catalyst for this was the…
The Name(s) of the Game(s)!”
19 July, 2017 The Name(s) of the Game(s)! It’s been quite some time since my last installment, and believe it or not, I’m killing some time right now as I’m waiting for a bidding activity on a new sailboat I’ve found on “ebay.com” that I want to add to my fleet!! I’ve got…
“To soar like an Eagle!”
22 July, 2017 “To soar like an Eagle!” Well now….it’s another bright, sunny, soon to be quite hot (104 degrees today) morning here in “Sin City”. (smile) I was quite pleased to have gotten back into the writing mode a few days ago. Perusing my photos again, I was surprised to discover that…
“The Antigua Adventure!!”
21 May, 2017 “The Antigua Adventure!!” Hi Jodie….it feels kinda strange to be writing this particular installment because it’s one that you know the details of very well!! (smile) It seems only a very short time ago you and I were hanging out on that little deck at the St. James Club in Antigua…
“My little Taurus offspring”
April 24, 2017 “My little Taurus offspring” Webmaster’s Note: Before his trip to Antigua with Jodie, I wanted to get up the beginning of this story. I am hoping Jodie is happily surprised and pleased when she sees this website. Skip is surprising her with all of these “stories behind the glass.” A labor of…
“Rock the Boat!”
April 24, 2017 “Rock the Boat!” Webmaster’s Note: Skip told me a bit about the story behind this beautiful sailboat. While I know he loves sailboats, it is extra appropriate that he just “won” this auction since he will be boarding a flight on Thursday to go to Antigua to attend the 50th anniversary of…
“Vroom, Vroom.. A Need for Speed”
April 24, 2017 “Vroom, Vroom.. A Need for Speed” Webmaster’s Note: We wait in anticipation for the story behind these pieces from Skip.
“Last night….I was on a Roll!!”
11 April, 2017 “Last night….I was on a Roll!!” It’s been a little while since I knocked out an installment, and I thought today I’d tell you about my bowling exploits from last night!! It’s a perfect way to refer to the crystal piece I received as a gift from my friend Tanuja, about…
“Drivers….Start Your Engines!”
01 March, 2017 “Drivers….Start Your Engines!” Last Sunday, a throng of fans gathered under the sunny skies at Daytona Beach, Florida and heard movie star Owen Wilson give the command that triggers the roar of engines that marks the start of the NASCAR season. The “Great American Race” (as it’s sometimes called) got underway, and…
“They weren’t Dinosaurs until 1841!”
25 February, 2017 “They weren’t Dinosaurs until 1841!” Wow, you’re not gonna believe this one. I watched a documentary last night that totally surprised the hell outta me as far as what I thought I knew about the prehistoric creatures we call dinosaurs!! I had to title this installment according to this most recently discovered…
“….Worth a Thousand Words!”
18 February, 2017 “….Worth a Thousand Words!” It’s 7:30AM on a Grey rainy Saturday morning here in Sin City!! I’m looking out on the golf course, and the sand traps just a few feet away from my patio, have taken on a richer, deeper Sepia colored hue….the result of the night long, steadily continuous downpour…
“Honjo Masamune….The Sword of the Dragon!!”
21 February, 2017 “Honjo Masamune….The Sword of the Dragon!!” Today started off as it usually does. I had my morning “commute conversation” with Tanuja. During that talk, she asked if I was going to write today, and I said that if I do I might write about “Honjo Masamune”. It’s the name that’s been given…
