One of my friends passed away this morning. Motorcycle accident. A deer jumped out in front of Will's motorcycle while he was driving home from his shop last night. I can't stop thinking about it, even though I know there's nothing I can do. Will Engle was one heck of a guy. A tall, big, burly man that looked like a hardened wise-guy but had the personality of a squeezable honey bear. Will was a Navy veteran, motorcycle lover, creative business owner, and would always come say hello and give you a hug when he noticed you out in public. (Will...

I went somewhere today that really spooked me. This location has been on my list of "to visit" spots for a few weeks now. Today, I actually had the courage to stop. With Sandi by my side, we poked around for a few minutes and took these pictures.When you Google the location and see it on Google’s map, this spot is labeled as "Woodland Sheds". I don't think this is 100% correct. I believe that Woodland Sheds is actually the name of a shed and wooden furniture place further down the highway. I've tried to do some research on these...

While plugging away on the internet earlier today, I stumbled up a blog post that I found really motivating. The post was titled "50 Things You Need to Give Up Now". I thought the title was really kind of pushy. How about 'could' give up now. Or 'should' give up now. Or 'work towards' giving up now. Those sound better to me. No matter what the title, I think this list of 50 things is really a good read. With that said, I've decided to post these 50 things. Not all at once. It's a little overwhelming. If I post...

The Spring season is upon us, for sure. Winter defeat officially occurred today as I put on my swimsuit and laid on the beach... Hoorah! 80 degrees and not a cloud in the sky.I was only able to lay around for a short hour before getting back to business. I spent a few hours this morning doing work-related things, swung by the skate park to see the awesome renovations underway, hit the beach, went for a run, and got back to 'work'. By 'work' I mean the laundry, dishes, baking, and gardening that needed to be done at my house....

I did something really cool today. The Maryland Coastal Bays Program that I love so much opened their canoe, kayak, and paddle board stand at the Assateague Island National Seashore to the public today for a few hours. Of course I jumped at the opportunity to paddle around the Sinepuxent Bay with a few other eco-enthusiasts and water-adventurers. Most of the paddlers were just testing out the kayaks and boards since they were camping at the park.While I was out cruising in the open waters, I spotted this gorgeous jelly fish. Quite possibly the prettiest jelly I have EVER seen!...
