Turn your speakers up folks. What can I say about this past weekend that can’t be seen in the lickle photo gallery above? Friends? Check! Sun, sand and surf? This is Florida. Fun times? For certain!
I was lucky enough to finagle myself into a three day weekend from work, so my celebration started on [...]

Funny how some free attractions can offer far more to the visitor than those which charge a fee. TECO’s (Tampa Electric Company) Manatee Viewing Center is certainly worth getting off I-75 at Big Bend Rd to check out. Now that I’m practically in the neighborhood and with temperatures being a [...]

Wat Mongkolratanaram, Tampa’s Thai Temple sits, off of State Road 41 just over the railroad tracks and along the Palm River. I’d heard over and over about the the wonderful Sunday Thai brunch, but never had the opportunity to go until yesterday. I took a few pictures, but mostly chilled with [...]

It was a dark Halloween night and… nothing. I would entertain dressing up or hanging with friends on this ghoulish evening, but responsibilities still plague me. As you may have guessed I am dressed up as my ole’ usual scary face self. I do have a mud mask on now. Anyhow, do [...]

Veer left off exit 17 from Interstate 4 and you’ll discover a land where dinosaurs are very much alive. I’d been trying to get someone to tag-a-long for a quick trip to Dinosaur World for as long as the Mesozoic Era. Without having ever visited the roadside attraction myself, I just couldn’t shake the notion [...]

On a suggestion made by Ms. J Marie, I headed out to MacFarlane Park today for the 3rd annual [...]

You are invited to not one book signing, but two in the Tampa Bay, FL area! I’m so excited!
Please join me for one or all of these special events. Bring a friend, a family member and warm smiles. I will be signing copies of my children’s book titled, Isaac and the Bah Family Tree. The [...]

I wrapped my ten week AmeriCorps VSA assignment at the Homeless Coalition. Ten weeks flies by fast and I can only hope that I made a real contribution while I was there. Lessons about the homeless situation on a local level were most certainly learned in addition to the sometimes limited resources to people in [...]

My ticket to SYTYCD live in Tampa. Aren’t I a lucky girl?
Call it 15 year-old, teenage type of excitement, but now that So You Think You Can Dance is finally over for the summer I can count the days between now and season six. But that’s not all. After watching five seasons straight, I finally [...]

I felt like a teenager all over again, except I was breaking all the rules in the strangest of ways. Instead of having a mega house bash in the absence of my vacationing mother I hosted only one guest. In fact she was a total stranger. Under normal circumstances this would have NEVER happened. Mostly [...]
