Boulderites who visit South Florida visit the Morikami Gardens. The tranquil manicured paths are home to birds, beasts, sculptures, serenity, and iguanas. Although Florida is a tad warm this time of year, the lizards do not seem to care. The Morikami Gardens are a place of great tranquility demonstrating the Japanese style of garden; elegant […]

Sunset Over Florida As I Fly Home. Back to Boulder! As the sun sets over the Florida East Coast the sun also sets of my Florida vacation. At least it is not a shock of cold and snow.  Wait, wait, that’s wrong. I have to admit that the weather in Florida when I left was […]

  Traveling from Boulder to Florida can be very confusing. For example in Florida, people drive on the “wrong” side of the road, like in England. Florida clocks are different by hours, and for 4 hours a day the dates are different! My confusion was exacerbated when my Florida family said, on a 71 degree […]

                           Pic Sherrie Frieling Warm weather Florida adventure continues! My sister Sherrie Frieling, who I’ve known to be a wonderful photographer, showed me the shots she got.

We now know how to pack and we’re in central Florida. This Boulder Boy spent the afternoon drooling on orchids at Krull Smith Orchids. I had to be careful since over-watering does not agree with them. They are perhaps the biggest orchid growers in the country. I think I took about 2500 pictures, and selected […]

Mike and Laura’s love story began a few years ago after he walked from California to Florida. It took him two and a half months, but it was worth it. He met her walking her dog in a park. “She was totally out of my league,” he told me with a beaming smile, but they finally […]

My wife Heather and I just returned to our home in Colorado from Miami, Florida this week. We were speaking at the U.S. Cannabis Conference and Expo about epilepsy, and the benefits of cannabis for fitness. We’ve had the opportunity to speak several times in Colorado this year, but this was our first time educating […]
