Wonder no longer. We had a terrific nights rest. The dog was quiet, the planes stopped flying over and the night club didn’t bother us either so it was wonderful. Either that or we just dropped off to sleep and none of those things woke us bothered us. Today’s breakfast at the hotel was the best we’ve had so far. Fresh scrambled eggs, hot sausage, fresh biscuits, juice, coffee, and jelly. We enjoyed it all. From Gulfport, Mississipi we headed on east and into Alabama. Mobile’s Hist...

On Miami Beach blue skies, parks, palm trees, colorful street life and art deco buildings combine with a tourist phenomenon that is, as best as I can describe it, Vegas, beach side. Ocean Drive, with its traffic of convertibles and hummer limousines is lined with such a plethora of bars harboring semi clad dancing girls and bikini contests that one begins to ruminate at length on the very likely existence of a vast behind the scenes infrastructure of Scarface style gangsters engaged in less t...

Twas the Sunrise of the 4th of July  I pointed the camera up into the sky I picked up a gull on his morning fly by He flew south to north I didn’t ask whyThat’s when I heard it, “Thank You Girl” By your old friends John & Paul I knew the tune they wrote, but the  Words had change somehow I put down the camera & started to think Last night I don’t recall having that Much to drink With a tip of his wings & a wink of his eye...

I like big butts and I can not lie  You other TravBuddy’s can't deny   Sir Mix-a-Lot's (Anthoney Ray) best-known song is the  Miami Bass styled song "Baby Got Back" (1992), a number one hit that won him fame and the 1993 Grammy Award for Best Rap Solo Performance. The single has since been parodied many times and is usually played in irony, celebrated for its over-the-top nature. A hook from the title song of his 1988 release Swass is finding a new audience wit...

When I was just a lad of ten my father said to me” Hey Old School come here and take a look my son at the lovely Tiger’s Tongue”.Don't put your faith in love, my boy, my father said to me forThe Tiger’s Tongue is Very Pretty  Like a Flower that is SweetThe Tiger’s Tongue is extensive  & it makes things Fun to EatCourse & covered with numerous  sharp, rear-facing papillae gives the Tiger’s Tongue its rough rasping texture to help strip feathers, fur...

We rented a kayak and went out on the water for a few hours in search of a manatee. All we found were a couple of iguanas and a condom floating in the water! Sick!!

Some random thoughts about Sunrise & Mornings some that are very different than Old School Bill's.    " SUNRISE IS the BEST PART OF THE DAY" If you're going to do something tonight that you'll be sorry for tomorrow morning, sleep late.  ~Henny Youngman Lose an hour in the morning, and you will be all day hunting for it.  ~Richard Whately The average, healthy, well-adjusted adult gets up at seven-thirty in the morning feeling just plain terrible....

pictures of my hometown. ****UNDER CONSTRUCTION**** I will put up more pictures and hopefully tell you a little about my city.

...By now, some members of our crew had dispersed...off to expell bodily fluids, aquire food, take refuge in the nearby backstage campgrounds, and otherwise reassemble their internal psychic elements. Eventually it started feeling less like Phish was perfoming a musical concert for our benefit, and more like we were all subsumed together into a giant, pulsing, organic mass, propelled by the sounds and lights coming from onstage. People were living, breathing, sleeping, just *existing*... as t...

Two of my Favorite Things!! SunRise is when the 1st part of the sun as it appears from the East over Old School Gibsonton ,Florida. This is not Dawn with or without Tony Orlando. Because of atmospheric refraction sunrise & sunsets are optical illusions. That’s Ok there are many things that are Not Real but are very nice to look at, wink wink nod nod! Two of my Favorite Things!!

While I was sitting at the airport waiting for my once again delayed flight, I reflected on my short stay in Sarasota.  I was quite pleasantly surprised by the city.  I had no expectations, but I actually loved the deserted beaches, warm ocean water, and shopping in Tamiami.  I would highly recommend the city for a vacation now!

Back in the summer of 2002 I made the biggest move of my life (at that time, anyway, haha). I packed up everything I owned into my small Chevy Cavalier and drove, by myself, across the country (from Oregon-Florida), in pursuit of my life long dream. Ever since I was a kid I had always wanted to work in entertainment at the Walt Disney World Resort, and after driving over 3000 miles in only 3 1/2 days I finally arrived at my destination. My first summer at the "World" I worked at t...
