My return to the Blogosphere starts tonight with a few pictures that sum things up. Above is shot from Cumberland Island, GA taken on our latest mini-vacation to southern Georgia and Jacksonville, Florida. Traveling and being outdoors are big parts of our life, and we are fortunate to be able to get around quite a bit. Although my wife, Amy, is quite the photographer I try to take some shots along the way myself (when I remember my camera).
Case in point, our day on Cumberland Island was one of the most unique in our travels. For starters, one can only get there via boat...so the ferry dropped us off in the morning and we were on foot from there. Over four miles of rambling around this historic and natural island led us through swamps, across the beach for a mile plus, and onto the ruins of the Carnegie mansion shown above. What a place!
Woodworking and mathematics are a couple other things that keep me busy in my spare time. The dice table (still under construction, of course) is a nice mix of those two hobbies...I wouldn't have the table without sawing and drilling, and there wouldn't be much of a need for it without an interest in numbers, probabilities. As a wise man named Warren Buffet said once to a certain extent, one only needs to know addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and how to calculate a rate and risk. Fortunately, both games of chance and woodworking require only that level of math :)
