I really don’t know much about the Flamingo. I know that they are the national bird of the Bahamas. I have heard that in Ancient Rome, their tounge was considered a delicacy. This really does not make me hungry. They are certainly unqiue and beautiful.

The look on a child’s face as they prepare to open a Christmas gift is priceless. In that moment, you witness the hope of the season, and the excitement and joy that is pure and innocent. I wish every child could experience the pure joy of Christmas.
Sadly, many do not share in this experience. My Christmas wish is that peace fills the empty hearts; that the lonely can find comfort and that the abused can find relief. My wish is that the sad may find the peace and that those that want for food and shelter can access the needs of life.
What is the greatest gift you can give this holiday season? Perhaps its not about how much you spend, but how much you care. Be a friend, and share from the heart. Regardless of your circumstance, my wish is for love and happiness for you.

This fire dance was part of a luau we attended in 2015. The food was amazing, but the show was so cool. The young man in this photo was 19. Very, very cool.

This Ladder-backed Woodpecker was working on the trees along the Miami River. I could hear her for a mile, it just took me some time to find her.
Sometimes you have to invest in the search, but it’s worth it.

Its a sunrise ... not a sunset.
I started my professional career on June 12, 1978 at Hobart Corporation. Today I will end this chapter of my career as I retire. I have enjoyed by time at Henny Penny. Overall, I have been so fortunate to work with amazing people, and to work on some great products. I have visited amazing places, and seen amazing things. What a ride.
So what’s next? I really don’t like the word, retire. It feels so final. While I will not be getting up to drive to work every morning, I certainly don’t plan to let life pass me by while I snooze. I blogged about my plans related to photography. That will certainly be a significant part of the future.
I also have this burning passion for technology and I plan to do something in this area. What that looks like is not clear. I plan to attend CES 2018 and begin the process of understanding how it all ties together. I love to search out trends, and uncover how technology interfaces with people. I love developing people. I love strategy. It’s just not clear how it all ties together in the short term. I know I want to write a book, and even have one in mind. So, we will see.
There will be new photos, with new tales every day. We will be taking lots of photos in Nevada and Utah soon, and then on to other places.
Enjoy every moment ... life is a ride!
