In honor of Earth Day, a little rant about something near and dear to me...I love the ocean. I can't live without it. I am a beach comber that always picks up trash before leaving the shell-covered shore. Because of pictures like this, I think you should, also.(This jar of tiny pieces of plastic was collected this past weekend from one beach in Hawaii, in one visit, by a handful of volunteers.) (Source.)Several major news stations have published articles over the past few weeks about a plastic garbage buildup accumulating in the Atlantic Ocean. Have you heard of the "Great...

"50 Things You Need to Give Up Now". I've decided to post these 50 things. Not all at once. It's a little overwhelming. If I post 10 a day, I think it's easier to try and achieve giving up these things or at least bringing them to your attention. These are things that I find myself thinking about often and trying to improve upon. 1.

Awesome night with my friends! Just what the doctor ordered. With hearing the terrible news about Will, working all afternoon, and pathetic pollen allergies earlier today - a night out with some of my close friends was perfect. We were trying to make it to downtown Salisbury, MD to attend the Just Folks Festival.

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...
