Wedding Tree

Last week as my bride & groom crossed the street I noticed something special about the tree in front of them...



so fitting.



How perfect is that?

Be Mine

Pull My Finger

Tats For Sale

Passed this little tattoo shop in the middle of nowhere.



Loved it. Turned around so I could take a pic.



Had it been 10 years ago, I might have even gone in.......

Fowl Play

Yesterday I took some pics for a pet resort and the owner had a bunch of pet chickens on the property.

That totally made my day....

Fat, Sick & Nearly Fingerless

Well it's that time of year again, you know what I'm talking about. It's time to make promises to yourself about eating healthy and losing weight that will last about 4 days until you decide to just say fuck it and drive to Wendy's for a triple cheeseburger a New Year's Resolution.

I wasn't even going to make my usual resolution until I came across a documentary called "Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead" (an inspiring tale of healing and human connection. Part road trip, part self-help manifesto) and dammit, it motivated me.

So i went shopping.



and bought a bunch of fruits and veggies.



and a juicer.



and i juiced.



Then I noticed the wall and realized that I'd forgotten to attach the pulp catcher thingie.

Of course I did.

So I texted a pic of the wall to my friend Chaney and wrote, "oops...user error. i'm lucky i still have my fingers the way i follow instructions."

She replied, "fat sick & nearly fingerless."


Wish me luck.
Fingers crossed.

Polar Plunge 2012

I've always wanted to watch those crazy freaks go swimming on New Year's Day, and since this year was also an attempt to break a Guinness World Record™ for the "Largest Gathering of People Wearing Swim Caps", Henry and I headed to Tybee and witnessed our first ever Polar Plunge.



these people are insane!



they must be yankees!



It was hilarious!

Here is a quick little video clip of the insanity for your enjoyment.



Happy New Year!

Footnote

FINALLY a new edition to my 'Where I've Set Foot' collection!

My Feet in Vieques, Puerto Rico.



And this just because it cracks me up.

11.11.11

WOW I have been a slack blogger lately!

So I logged in to share some pictures of my swim with dolphins in Hawaii on 11.11.11......so amazing.









I miss them already!

Does that tree make my butt loook big?

Well does it?!

I love this.

The Towers

I've added a card to my store in honor of 9/11. I took this in September of 2000 from the Manhattan Ferry....never thought it would be the last time I'd ever see the towers.

Lost at Sea

Last weekend I met some friends in Townsend, GA which is about an hour south of me. We took their boat out to Sapelo Island to see a shipwreck that was washed ashore last spring.



According to the locals, in 1910 the Spanish sailing ship, San Sont, captained by Jose Esquerda and loaded with pine timber, sailed out of Jacksonville, Fla. for Valparaiso, Spain.



This ship was caught in a storm, maybe an unnamed minor hurricane, and
sank off of Cabretta Island, a part of Sapelo Island.



All hands were drowned and the bodies were buried where they washed up on or near Sapelo Island.



Captain Esquerda and two crew members drifted ashore at Cabretta
and were buried by locals near Miller Pump on Sapelo.



They say the captain was identified by his embroidered underwear!



So that's the story of the San Sont.



And this is MY FOOT on a shipwreck.

Sign

Good one.

Handle With Care

I love that my friend slapped postage on a coconut and dropped it in the mail to me.



Brilliant.



My friends are nuts. Just like me.
