Imagine this, you're out for a nice relaxing day on the water. You decide to do a little spearfishing so you put on your SCUBA gear and head over the side of the boat into the water. When you surface the boat is gone...yes, that's right gone. Randy Fales, 68, of Satellite Beach lived it! Fales went out on the ocean with his family this past week and when he surfaced, he found that the anchor line he was depending on to get back to the boat and come free. When he surfaced the boat was no where in sight. What WAS in sight however, were two sharkes in the 6 - 8 foot range that were very interested in him. So interested in fact that Fales had to kick one of the sharkes away from him at one point. Fortunately for Fales, he was spotted by other boaters and was picked up and reunited with his ... 05/22/2016

So I was in my house yesterday. It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon and I had just finished working on my pool getting it cleaned, testing the water levels etc. All of the sudden, the Yorkies starting barking and making a racket. I walked over to my front door, which was open to let a breeze through, and there stood four little kids. There were two boys and two girls. Behind them they were pulling a wagon with crayon drawn pictures in it. These were the typical type of drawings that children do in school and come home and proudly present to their parents.              One of the little girls looked up at me and said,"Good afternoon Ma'am, we were wondering if you would be interested in buying original one of a kind abstract art."All four of them them proudly held up their pictures for... 05/08/2016

I took my sweet girl Molly down to the beach this afternoon for a walk on the beach...a treat for both of us for sure. While walking, I noticed many Portuguese man o' war laying on the beach. The Atlantic Portuguese man o' war, also known as a Man-of-War or Blue Bubble has a blue gas filled bladder that allows it to float on the top of the ocean with its tentacles submerged below the surface. Laying on the beach, the Portuguese man o' war is a pretty blue color, but make no mistake, the Portuguese man o' war is venomous, and it's sting is extremely painful resulting in long, open wounds that look like you have been whipped. A carnivore, the Portuguese man o' war feeds on small fish and plankton and uses its tentacles to catch it's prey and paralyze it with it's venom. Because the Portug... 03/12/2016

I love March on the Space Coast for many reasons!We have spring training baseball throughout the State of Florida.The days begin to get much longer so more sunshine for the Sunshine State!The water in the ocean begins to warm!...but one of my favorite March rewards is the huge number of manatees just hanging out in the river.Manatees (known as sea-cows) are large vegetarian animals that love the warm waters of our canals and rivers. Unfortunately it also means they come in close proximity to boats. Many of these peaceful animals get caught in the propellers of boats...and you can see the cuts of the propellers on there backs :(I often visit a small park in Satellite Beach to get an up close view. Here in this photo are about 50 huddled together!  03/02/2016

 I absolutely love eggplant. I pretty much love it any way that I can get it. I love the texture of the soft delicate flesh and the flavor of the eggplant itself, so I really don't care for a lot of different spices or herbs to mask the flavor I love so much. So, I have come up with my own version below. I hope you like it!  Kerry's Eggplant and Tomato Gratin                                                            2 fresh eggplantsfresh tomato's ( vine ripened homegrown)preferablystale or day old breadcheese such as fontina or gruyereolive oilsalt and pepperTake your eggplants and slice them into good hefty slices about a half inch thick.

Yesterday I had to make one of the hardest decisions ever. I had to say good bye to one of the sweetest dogs ever to have been born, my boy Harley. Harley was a puppy mill dog that I adopted 6 years ago when he was 3. He had epilepsy and because of the seizures and the damage they do, he wasn't the brightest bulb in the box. But he was the sweetest. Harley loved everyone he met, but he especially loved me, and that was one of my greatest gifts. He sat right behind me in my office chair as I worked at the computer. He sat right next to me when I  watched the news. He would snuggle up close to me in bed at night. If I moved during the night, he would re-adjust and get even closer to me if possible. He was always touching me. In the morning he would watch me in the kitchen bouncing up and ... 12/04/2015

The ubiquitous Hewlett-Packard 12c financial calculator has been around a lot longer than the almost 25 years that I've been in the business. Sure, HP and other companies have come out with "newer" financial calculators...but none of them have been more wildly accepted as the good ol' gold standard, the HP12c.I have three of them. The first I bought when I first got into the business. The second I bought when I lost the 1st for a couple of weeks. The 3rd was given to me by my mother after she took a college class that required the 12c and she swore she would never touch one again after the class ended. Those suckers are pricey, they definitely have not come down in price as technology has advanced. I paid $60 for mine 20+ years ago. Today you can pay close to $80, $79.99 to be exact. So... 08/01/2015
