Old movies show pop walking to the factory, lunch pail in hand. When he got home, dad gave the pail to one of the kids to fill with beer at the corner tavern. In our Rockport house the second floor is used for sleeping and to use the bathroom. The kitchen with perishable food and dish washing,LunchPail5794 are on the first floor. Because of my mobility challenges, I needed to protect the white rug and safely transport fresh food upstairs and dirty dishes downstairs, so I resurrected my version of the lunch pail. If something spills, it goes into the pail.

Hey Joey, Greetings from sunny and warm Arizona. I came upon this pic and wanted to share the memories with GMG readers.. Dave Cox was our third baseman and can identity the players if needed. I was the second baseman and in back row with my arm around the late great Frankie Destino. Sherm Anderton looms there and Bob”Munchieā€ Pascucci is beside CoachĀ  Nate Ross.Ā  Hope the bugs are crawling and you have a successful season. God luck,as well, to the new owners of my old Lobster Pool Restaurant.
See you this Summa.

Resting Place

I’m kind of in love with this little cemetery. Ā I know it seems odd to love a burial ground, but I find myself stopping to appreciate it each evening that I run by. Ā There’s something about the sloping hill, the ocean view, the simple stones, and the picket fence that always makes me take pause.

So last night we had a few adult beverages and left our rental downtown Naples instead of driving with a buzz on. Dialed up UBER on the cell phone and got home safely.  I’ll never understand people who refuse to take cabs or, now, UBER instead of driving drunk. 

Here’s our sweet UBER car that picked us up this morning to go retrieve the rental car-

  

But anyway I took a video of my screen on my cell phone which shows exactly how it works and why seeing exactly where your car is and the type of car that’s picking you up and your driver’s UBER rating is so cool.


Watch the video of how it all works here-

Forget about what you read online or what your brotherā€™s friend who is a filmmaker told you. Find out the REAL DEAL about cameras on the market.

Learn the differences between shooting video with a DSLR, consumer camcorder, professional camcorder, cine camera, mirrorless or compact system camera, and even cell phone cameras. ā€ØYou will learn about sensor sizes, 4K vs. HD, lens options, frame rates, camera construction and hear about brands like Canon, Sony, Blackmagic, GoPro, Panasonic and more. Audio for video recording will also be discussed.

This is not a camera class, it’s more informational for the person trying to make sense of the world of videography.

You will learn about these cameras: Panasonic X920, HC-X1000, GH4, Sony A7s, FS7, PXW-X70, Canon C100, XF205, T6S, GoPro hero4, Blackmagic camera, a DJI Inspire 1 Drone w/ 4K camera, and Shogun recorder. Additionally Barry Dennis will discuss the capabilities of Rokinon lenses and a variety of wireless microphones.
