Starbucks Coffee

We recently stopped at this stand alone Starbucks Coffee near Canton, Ohio. It was conveniently located beside of an Einstein's Bro. Bagels, which made for a yummy pitstop!

The Bank of Glen Jean

The Bank of Glen Jean is located in Fayette County, WV. Built in 1909, the bank operated until 1939. An interesting fact about this building, is that the exterior walls are 28 inches thick. It also has a roof and floor of steel construction. The addition in the rear of the building was added on in 1917.

Creepy Crawler

I saw this creepy crawler while at a family reunion last week.

Croaked


While in Florida a couple months ago I decided to try something new. We ordered an order of frog legs and an order of gator tail. I must the admit that the gator tail was excellent. It taste like tough chicken. The frog legs on the other hand, weren't to much to brag on. They taste like swampy chicken. Definitely not what I had expected. Either way, it was neat to be able to try new things.

Forever "The King of Pop"

Today I watched the Michael Jackson memorial service held in Los Angeles, Ca. It brought back many memories for me. Growing up I listened to Michael Jackson, Lionel Ritchie and many of the other Motown artists on a regular basis. I owned the Michael Jackson action figure, trading cards and of course his music. Today we honor the "King of Pop", The inventor of the "moon walk" and most importantly one of the greatest music artists on Earth. Rest In Peace MJ.

R.I.P. Michael Jackson


Last night while at Riverfest, I heard the MC announce that Michael Jackson had passed away. Michael Jackson was one of the 80's stars that we grew up listening to and enjoyed his work. The photo above of Michael Jackson is from my trip to Potter's Wax Museum in St. Augustine, FL last month.
