Ormond Beach hideaway

This week’s office in Ormond Beach… Cool Atlantic ocean breeze every day and night… Homemade cider on tap and always something delicious and healthy simmering in cast iron… And yes that is a whole cedar tree being slowly chipped away and burned… Not a bad spot to hang my hat before heading north.

How amazing! Trevor, Gordon, and Thor… Read more →

A 3 dimentional world

So I went to see Iron Man 3 3D last night. Aside from my thoughts about the fact that Hollywood never seems to fail at ruining a great comic series with a horribly sappy and propaganda ridden third installment (with freaking fire breathing zombies, no less… come-on!), my thoughts are more about the 3D revolution. When it came out, I… Read more →

The key of keys.

The key of keys.

Having done nothing ON my birthday in quite a few years made me jump at the chance this year to take a long weekend in Key West. We took Friday and Monday off for the drive days since it’s about 8 hours from Daytona. It wasn’t bad, though, since Barb lent us the Miata for the trip! It was a… Read more →
