Monday night I picked up two new kayaks from KayakNature! You see, you can’t be an official resident of Gulfport, Florida until you own your own kayak and take it out on Boca Ciega Bay. (In the same way you can’t truly be from San Francisco unless you are a web designer, DJ, massage therapist, fire spinner, [...]
This weekend I gained a set of complementary presents… First off it’s citrus season here in Florida and the oranges and grapefruit are everywhere. I’ve been given access to quite the trove of fresh grapefruit.. but then the question is what to do with it after you peel it (aside from eating it) Enter the second present, [...]

Jacob is a warden whos "powers" can escape the island. I've come up with a list of questions for which I'd like to find answers: How is Jin hopping thorough time in Season 4 with the other Island persons but ...
I finally made my way to Tampa Bay's water's edge to catch a sunrise. I liked it more than the sunsets... There felt more of an activity about at least with the birds and the dolphins.
