Abandoned Tennis Courts
This past weekend, I was able to explore an abandoned tennis court in North Myrtle Beach. I added the photographs to my series of views on the Abandoned Grand Strand. Things falling apart stand in stark contrast to the surreal, neon tourist destination that the Grand Strand has become. If you look closer, you start to see the entropy everywhere. […]
Saturday Canoe Trip with the SCASLA
I just recently became a member of my professional organization (the SCASLA) and attended my first SCASLA event, the annual canoe trip down the Edisto River. I now present my photo tour: The Outfitters (Carolina Heritage Outfitters) Rob in Action Going Under I-95 Me (Posing) Me (In Action) Wierd Vultures Gathering at the End of Our Trip
Weird Music Video #1
Some of my closest friends know of my love for The Dance. I have practiced & practiced many routines, from Darren’s Dance Grooves to that new bit of pool choreography the girls made up at the last pool party. Now, I feel sure my love of The Dance will be nurtured throughout my lifetime. I have found my inspiration, my […]
My New Chair
The town of Calabash, NC is locally famous for two things: Calabash Seafood & Great Thrift Stores. On a recent sojourn to the area, I came across this great new chair. (I got it for a steal–only $28!) It’s very 80’s, very brown, & very cool. I bought a great new brown/gold/orange rug to help coordinate the 80s chair with […]
Crafty Car
Because I have recently been too busy to do much crafting, I am taking the opportunity to highlight some local outstanding examples of craft. If you visit the North Myrtle Beach Flea Market (on Highway 17 just over the waterway), you may have the good fortune to view this beauty of limousine. I think it the best limo I’ve ever […]
Happy Birthday Mr. Wizard
Happy Belated Birthday to Mr. Wizard. Don Herbert, aka Mr. Wizard, turned 85 yrs old on July 10. That’s a significant birthday reached by an awesome guy. I bought your books, watched your TV show, and generally attribute a large part of my nerdiness to you. Thanks for making me the geek I am today! You can still buy the […]

Mariko & Pemba
Last weekend, I traveled to Boulder, Colorado to go to the wedding of my dear friend Mariko. Mariko is Japanese; she married Pemba Sherpa who hails from Nepal originally. The wedding was at an outdoor ampitheater; 2 Buddhist monks officiated (1 Zen Buddhist for Mariko, the other Tibetan Buddhist for Pemba). It was quite an experience. Everything made this wedding […]
Lucky Lucy
Little India’s food attracted another stray to our house. This one had to go to the vet immediately; she had been abused & hurt by someone in her past. Most of her tail was missing, there was a large gash on her leg, she was completely skinny, and she had a medical bracelet around her neck & leg. The first […]
Little India
After I got settled in my new apartment, I began to notice a little black cat hanging around. She was super skinny, but very sweet, so I resolved to give her a better home. Mom & Dad said she could live ouside at our house in Florence, which I’ve come to realize is exactly how India likes it. She’s not […]
Ridiculous Eyewear
This weekend presented the opportunity for many people to sport absurd eyewear, especially at Rob’s pool par-tay. Adam in my froggie goggles: Kalli in Erin’s fancy sunglasses: Me in my new sunglasses, inspired by Erin’s uber-style: So hawt am I! I have to admit, I love the new trend of ridiculously large sunglasses.
Earth Day Swap #2
This is what i sent to badtz-mari. I hope she likes it; it’s all recycled/reused materials for her enjoyment.
I Believe I can Fly
I went on a site visit to Wilmington yesterday with my boss. We took his plane; it’s so much easier than driving , especially with biker week in full swing. Flying in a small plane is much different than a big plane. It’s more like having a car in the sky…with 2000+ feet between you & the road. It was […]
