So, the first thing that happened when we stepped off the boat in Charleston was that Malia found a 2 dollar bill. She pondered its authenticity while we all marveled. She does seem to have a way with finding extraordinary items in the oddest places.… more »

Actually, I sold this one the other day (that was fast!) but you can still see it on our sailing jewelry site if you look through the sold gallery. This is my favorite! Madison and Malia went for a walk with our friend Carlos and found this am… more »

I lived in Hawaii for the better part of a decade back until 2006, I think. You see, my sense of years has become very blurry. I never remember how old I am without going through and doing the math even, and my kids hate that I ask them how old they a… more »

First off, I love it how my spell check goes all psycho when I put the U in Harbour. There it is again, all red squiggles under my harbour. So, this is the morning imagery we get here, not the most magnificent, I know, but still pretty cool. Thes… more »

So, this is how it turned out. I made one batch of these lasagna swirls, and one batch of regular flat lasagna. We all agreed that we liked the swirls better, though no one knows why, other than it looks cool. It took about 4 hours to make, and all… more »
