I’m an old-school, old-fashioned man who believes he should treat his woman like a queen. Growing up in a household with 4 girls and 6 boys, my Italian mother made sure us boys learned how to treat women right. Taught how to talk to them …

It’s amazing the kinds of things you can find lying on the beach during a beach walk in North Wildwood. On one such walk my wife and I saw several horseshoe crabs, a stingray and countless jellyfish that were lying up on the beach. The majority of them were deceased. The ones that were still alive we took the time to put them back out into the ocean water.
When walking the beach it’s important to watch where you’re walking! There could be shards of glass, fish hooks, sharp rocks or other things buried in the sand that you typically don’t see. Trust me, you’ll feel them if you step onto them! We walk with a small trash bag to pick up any trash that we find along the way. We all need to do our part and clean-up our coastlines whenever we can.
Wildlife is another matter. We’re big into conservation so we’re always on the lookout for wildlife that may need some help. If an animal is alive and truly struggling you need to be careful handling it. If you’re not sure what to do, it’s better to summon some help. If you have experience in handling them…please take the time to help them. Horseshoe crabs often get stuck on the beach when the tide is rolling out. If they’re still alive, we gently pick them up and return them to the water.
Today I just wanted to show you the stingray, horseshoe crabs and jellyfish that we seen on one particular walk. This was a 90 minute beach walk and we saw several of them along the way. Every walk we take…it truly a gift and one that we always appreciate.
Every year I look forward to the time that the Girl Scouts are selling their world-famous cookies! I grew up participating in the Girl Scouts and did 12 years with them. Now that I’m a mother, I’m proud to say that my 15 year old …
Ophidiophobia is the fear of snakes. I admit, I suffer from Ophidiophobia and have been extremely fearful of snakes since I was a child. According to Wikipedia, about 1/3 of people have a fear of them making it one of the most common phobias around …

I’m getting to the point that I dread going out into the retail stores. Over the past few months I’ve encountered countless rude customers while in the stores. Everyone is so darn impatient! They’re rude, use vulgar language, ram their shopping carts into you, push you from sales racks, shop with kids who are running around unattended and/or screaming at the top of their lungs and then…you get to the checkout line and have to deal with their nonsense all over again. I have the utmost respect for retail clerks and cashiers who have to put up with the garbage from rude and mean customers!!!
I admit, one of my favorite snack foods happens to be popcorn. I like all kinds of different flavors of popcorn. Yes, I eat it salted & buttered but that gets boring after awhile. I like trying out REAL flavored popcorn like jalapeno cheddar, chocolate …
