A now sane individual who escaped the world of selling technology, now living in the rolling hills of the North Carolina Piedmont. I have been at one time or another, a farmer, a director for Apple, and a vice president at Wideopen Networks. I continue to pursue my love of photography and writing. I have great memories of boating, fishing, kayaking, swimming, and hiking the beaches along North Carolina's Southern Outer Banks where we lived for fifteen years.

The Muggies, My Least Favorite Season

The Crystal Coast usually has great weather.  However, we are now entering the muggies, that time from late July until sometime in September when fall rescues us.  I can hardy wait for fall and the wonderful evenings on the beach. For more information and pictures to take your mind off the heat and humidity click on the link or on the picture which was taken in October 2010  #CrystalCoast http://ow.ly/ntR9p

Don’t miss Captain V.P.’s steam pots. I saw one today.  It looked wonderful.  I’m going back next week for one.  This is the picture of a steam pot is stuck in my mind.
