I always thought the best job to have in Tampa Bay in the summer would be the weatherman. 

"Today will have a high in the 90's with lows tonight in the upper 70's.  98% humidity with afternoon showers likely." 

Right???  You could record yourself wearing 5 different outfits and then go to Alaska for the summer to escape the heat!

Scalloping – The last big splash of summer!

By PJ Goetz


My mission the other day (and I have no idea why I chose to accept it) was to keep a 15 year old, 10 year old, a nine year old and a six year old happy doing the same thing?   Guess what?  I did it and in process had a great time myself!   What, you ask, did I do - Drop the kids off at a parent’s night out and then forgot to pick them up?  No silly (but I like the way you are thinking) I took the kids scalloping!  more
