Last week I started etching and carving into seashells which I wasn’t aware of needing to take some extra precautions from the dust.

I need to go get a few pumpkins this week and start painting them. One for each of my kid’s families. I’m looking forward to trying a few scary designs I saw.

Tomorrow I’ll start capturing Halloween decorations around the area and share them here being it’s the kickoff to that season.

  • I’m contemplating some plumbing work. Carefully

With a lifetime and a half in the Newspaper industry I'm preparing for my retirement career as an Artist, Writer, Photographer and Video content provider. I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.
