A Step Away

Song lyrics about those who came hear in search of a new future.
A Step Away
A light on the horizon, not so far across the sea,
Where mornings bring new promises, and hopes that long to be.
In a village by the ocean, corrupt by greedy hands,

The Smallest Alien in the Universe!

Last night I was attacked by the smallest alien in the universe. Wait, maybe “attacked” isn’t the right word. Last night I was visited by the smallest alien in the universe. There, that sounds slightly less fabricated.

By the way- “Innis” means “island” in Gaelic and the “McNubbin” last name is a joke- a combination of my wife’s maiden name “McNulty” [...]

for the road…

I will be traveling to the mainland for several days and likely will not be able to post while I’m gone.
Here are a few photos I took just for fun that I hope you enjoy. I have a restaurant review lined up for when I get back- Sparky’s Landing in Key Colony Beach, so check [...]

Super Simple Swordfish Kabobs

Often the simplest dishes are the most flavorful- and this is definitely true with this easy to prepare, yet wonderfully delicious swordfish recipe.
I made these swordfish kabobs for my wife and a couple of guests, one of whom is a swordfishing captain for a local charter boat, and even he agreed that this was some [...]
