I don’t love The Yankees. My heart was ripped out a couple of week ago. I’m not referring to the ER post. I’m referring to game 4 of the NLCS. We (The Dodgers) were so close. I’ve been wanting to do a baseball post since April. We even did this Baseball Promo (shown above) piece [...]

Making Sense of South Beach

I remember once while working in Miami I was talking to a model who out of nowhere says, “You know, The Boat show is in town.” This struck me as strange since I don’t own a boat, wear nautical attire or give the airs of someone who would be interested in boats. Then a few [...]
Ted Gets Bit By A Snake

I walk down to the beach just as the sun was coming up and I see a snake on my path. What do I do? I think, not poisonous, definitely not a Coral or King snake. Try to remember the limerick red next to yellow it’s mellow- black next to red- you are dead. Something [...]
Take the Skinheads Bowling

Welcome back to reality. We started mainland life off with a big bang including back-to school reported outbreaks of head lice. You might say were being proactive or you might say we were being paranoid when it came to head lice but we weren’t taking any chances. 4 out of 5 Catanzaro boys opted for [...]

It’s Time to go home
All things must past. Good and bad. During the last few days on Kauai both Debbie and I tried to cherish all that we could, hoping that just maybe, some part of it will remain with us till next year. The sound of the wind, the ocean and the rain at [...]

I’m going to be honest with you. Not all these photos were taken on Friday. It’s getting to that point in our vacation where I really don’t know what day it is anymore. It’s okay. The mornings have started off with rainbows.
And each day ends something like this. And this isn’t even looking towards the [...]
In Memory of Roger

Call them Leprechauns, gnomes, fairies, homunculus. In Hawaiian lore they are called the Menehune. These little forest people who are sometimes mischievous, sometimes helpful towards good causes. They are builders of roads and dams. They are protectors of the forests. There’s a story my kids love called Laka’s Canoe from a book called Tales of [...]
Working Backwards

The evening ended with another magical campfire by the sea. Henry always seems to dig out a couple of fireworks from some hidden stash. The sounds of the waves crashing onto the shore and toppling the outer reefs were entwined with the sizzling of marsh mellows and the sizzling of about 8 boys peeing on [...]
Winding Down

Not only did I see the Milky Way and a meteor while taking an outdoor shower in the rain, I also saw a gecko when I turned on the light. This is one of the few photos I’ve taken while naked.
With only 8 days left till we go back home we find ourselves thinking about [...]
