Wow! October 6th marks two years since my surgery. Already! Wait what!? I can’t believe it. These past two years have flown by. Here I sit cancer free? No I can’t accept that. Everyone tells me I am. My PSA blood tests tell me I am. My Urologists tell me…
Here is another orchid variety we picked up on my birthday from Soroa Orchids. This plant was $25 dollars. My wife liked the purple variety that was being sold at Bamboo Orchid Gardens in Davie, but it looked like that was rampant at every place we visited so I wanted…
Another birthday present to myself :). This one we got at Soroa Orchids right down the street from Banjong in Homestead. Quite an interesting place to visit if you ever have the chance. The entrance to this place is two large iron gates adorned with orchids. The selection inside was…
I saw this one at Home Depot a couple of months ago in full bloom. The flowers are “ginormous”. They span about 5 inches. It was 36 dollars and some change. It was too nice of an orchid to pass up and it’s the first time I’ve seen Vanda’s sold…

Thirty years ago, my wife and I stood in front of an altar and said our vows. But our relationship started way before then. Over ten years prior, my wife and I were paired in a Home Economics class in our middle school baking bad cookies and sewing something… You…
A lot has happened since I last posted 2 months ago. So much I’m not sure how to start. I can’t remember a holiday period in my life that held so much significance in my heart as this past one. Having the normalcy of the holidays with friends and family…
It’s been two weeks. A lot has happened, but in some ways it also feels like nothings happened. So what’s happened? Life, work and family. It’s been a great two weeks just living life as I had before. I say that because it’s easy to forget what I’m dealing with…
