Tonight I walked with Melissa for walk #293 and we took a walk through the neighborhood and up to the Subway shop where she'll start work tomorrow. I love the fact that we're bonding again.
They trimmed my big scary tree down the street!

Heyyyy! Whaddyagonna do?

Melissa at her Subway shop, where she'll begin work tomorrow. Good luck Melly, now go inside and get your shirt, cap and apron.

The right angle can make this palm tree look like a huge pineapple.

Walk #292 tonight is just a short little baby walk around Dad's Nursing home grounds. You have to make due when and where you can. The key is all about dedicating that little chunk of time that you take out of your day, and make it all your own.

Mom and Dad trying to sort it all out. Dad's been confused for a few days, and Mom's just filling him in.
Dad is actually pretty comfortable for the amount of things that are going on with him. He's such a fighter... God I've learned a lot about endurance from my father.

Glad to be anywhere walking...

Tonight is walk 291 and I'm a little high on cough medicine. I took a couple of teaspoons before heading out and was a little woozy at first. I realized I had to get my walk in before I passed out, which is what I plan to do after this blog entry.

Clear blue skies and this is where the walk begins...

This house is now almost finished, and this was nothing more than a lot when I first started my walks. It'll be finished before I end my Year of Walks.

Who knew we had one of these in the neighborhood? What the hell is a hookah anyway?

Melly and me on walk 290 tonight up in Palm Harbor along Shore Drive. A beautiful night and lots of weird things happened, from finding an ugly kitty, to watching thousands of birds migrate out to a tiny island out in the intercoastal.

That's the island out there where thousands of black birds head out to spend the night.

Melly climbs one of those crazy oaks.

Look at this twisted black tree. It just looks evil.

Melly tresspassing... because she can.

A walk along Shore Drive gave us a view of how the other half lives. These houses are obnoxious in their majesty. And the journey continues... 10 walk to 300!

Today is walk 298 and I'm walking and working at the SPCA 3K Pet Walk in St. Petersburg. This is Christi Smith and her dog Willow. I work with Christi, and now she's part of the journey! People are really cool outside of work!

Leigh USED to work for Bay News 9, now she's in charge of the SPCA events, and this one was stellar. Lots of fun, big turnout, and everything was so well coordinated! Great to see Leigh again.

Kristin, Kelli and Caitlin working the booth! We had popular giveaways today.

Caitlin took on this Great Dane, and just loved him up!

This is Brad Clore. I walk at work with his wife, Kelly. Brad is an amazing freelance photog for a lot of the special projects we have at Bay News 9.

Now THATS a puppy face!

These are the winners of the puppy costume contest. Pups of the Caribbean! Makes sense.

Nick is married to Leigh and this is his dog. Great to see so many friends in one day.

It's crazy hair!

V.J. rocking the zombie makeup! She's wild, she's crazy... and just awesome!
