I’ve dreamed of auditioning for the American Idol Experience at Disney Hollywood Studios ever since it opened in 2009. There was always a reason why I couldn’t do it; I wasn’t old enough or my parents wanted […]

Liquid Art Designs is a fascinating voyage led by the artist, James Unger. His underwater view of marine life and his fresh interpretation and techniques are attracting the attention of many. What James does with an airbrush and the style he has perfected, bring color, light, and marine life onto a canvas that is a riot of bright hues and the shades of blue of the surrounding Gulf and bay waters. The reality of hammer head sharks, turtles, and a myriad of other sea creatures are presented in a lovely, real way, as well as being delightfully surreal. It gives the viewer a lot to consider and a bird’s-eye-view of some breathtaking, one-of-a-kind representations found in our Florida waters.

I am getting ready to celebrate one of my favorite holidays: Grandparents Day! Yes, it really is a holiday. In fact, President Jimmy Carter signed it into law in 1978. Although it is called Grandparents Day, the originator Marian McQuade wanted to designate a day for families to visit their elderly relatives. Therefore, I think […]

I did the Wave last night! No, not standing and raising my arms at a sporting event. I did a show along with guitar genius Jami Gee, drummer Eddie James Liashek, and Scott Stevenson on bass at The Wave Grill at Ramada Venice Resort Hotel. Everything about last night was extraordinary. Therefore, I have to share it with all of you. First of all, the hotel itself is a work of art right down to the bathroom and very elegant. When you walk in the front door you immediately feel like you have stepped into a tropical resort.
