Having recently, with the essential help of my lovely wife, brought a child into this World, I am beginning to think not so much about what the future will be like for me as the years unfold, but what the future will be like for my offspring. I want my son to grow up to [...]
(This is a duplicated post from my family blog. For updates on Race Turner, please check that site, until I buy a domain for him, and start posting his photos and about his life there. I will not let this dignified blog be overrun by some little gorilla-like, pointy-headed, lizard-looking baby who was 100% planned [...]
I wrote about another U.S. Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, Boots Thomas, in a previous post, who was from my hometown in Northern Florida. The past few years before moving to The Philippines, since Hurricane Andrew hit South Florida, in 1992, I have lived mostly in Broward County, in Hollywood, Florida. Miami is just South [...]
Sometimes I wonder how I could have gotten so lucky, with all the screwed up things I did when I was younger. Life could not be better. I have my whole wife’s family living in my 6-bedroom house here. Since I figured I would end up supporting her family anyway, why not just do it [...]

I posted nearly all my wedding photos at Marissa’s blog, approximately 1000 wedding photos in two galleries.
I just saw Clint Eastwood’s Flags of Our Fathers this evening. This is not a movie review, but a commentary on the actual events, my perspective of it. I was raised in Monticello, Florida, from age 2 to age 7, when we moved to Tallahassee, primarily, I think because of national desegragation of schools in [...]
About six weeks after we got married, Marissa and I, as part of our honeymoon, went to the Banaue rice terraces. I’ve been to the top of the Empire State Building, I’ve seen Niagara Falls (I’ve also seen Churchill Falls, which is more spectacular), and watched Apollo 11 blast off back in ’69, but the [...]
I’m getting married this coming Friday, September 1, 2006, less than three days from now. I will not be posting much about the wedding here, or the honeymoon, rather I’ll be posting that stuff at Marissa Valles‘ site, www.issavalles.com. Am I nervous? No, I’m not. I knew I wanted to marry Marissa within an hour [...]
