Wayne’s Family Diner…
JULY 31, 2016 WHAT’S FOR LUNCH? I hear this question quite a bit. I pretty much heard it every day from “my sixteen year old girlfriend” in San Diego, Marymay, who hung out at our place a lot when we had our little ranch in the back country. I fed her well and in exchange she’d … Continue reading
Our puppy will be on United Airlines flight 442…
JULY 28, 2016 OUR PUPPY IS FLYING TO PENSACOLA. She’ll be here on August 9th in the evening. Don’t worry, she’s riding first class and her area will be climate-controlled. Here are some pictures the breeder just sent to me. We’re pretty excited. In fact, I haven’t seen Florence this excited for as long as I … Continue reading

JULY 28, 2016 MIKE IS THE DRUMMER IN A REGGAE BAND. He’s been happily married for more than 30 years. An Assistant Pastor at his Baptist Church, he also plays drums in a Reggae Band. We’re going to watch his group play next Sunday afternoon at the Malibu Lounge right here in Pensacola. Here’s a … Continue reading
Lunch, dinner and a movie…
JULY 27, 2016 NEW FRIENDS. We continue to be blessed with new friends. With opportunities to meet fellow travelers whose stories are very different from our own. Opportunities to be with them and watch them perform. Opportunities never have had if Florence and I hadn’t taken a risk and embarked on our Great American Adventure a … Continue reading
New friends and an old trailer…
JULY 24, 2016 I’M SURE YOU’RE CONFUSED. You supported me when I was deathly ill. After almost nine months, you celebrated my return to health. I made new friends and enjoyed extraordinary medical care. Florence and I became closer than ever before. LEVIN PAPANTONIO LAW FIRM. One of the country’s top law firms, Levin Papantonio has … Continue reading
Our new puppy…
JULY 24, 2016. We’ve been wanting a traveling companion for a long time. We’ve debated whether it should be a cat or a dog. We can’t comfortably have large dogs like our German Shepherds back at Deerhorn Valley. Remember them? Well, we’ve finally decided that our new pet should be a dog, but a motorhome size. WHICH … Continue reading
“We gotta move so we can move.”
IT MAKES SENSE. We gotta move our stuff back to our motorhome. Until that’s done, we can’t move down the road. And what we want to do more than anything is move down the road. See the country. Meet the people. Resume our Great American Adventure. That’s what we’re about these days. So let’s get it done! … Continue reading
Keeping you occupied…
KEEPING YOU OCCUPIED. Something is wrong. Dreadfully wrong. I knew it from the moment I climbed out of bed this morning. I’m an early riser because I need a little quiet time to myself every morning before I start throwing the ball. I need a little time in the bullpen. That’s when I plan the … Continue reading
CeeLo Green, up close and personal…
FREE TICKETS, SO WHY NOT? Free stuff is good. So when I was recently offered front row seats for CeeLo Green’s “Love Train Tour” concert, I snapped them up. All I knew about the dude was that he was a host on “The Voice” and the few times I watched the show he seemed like a … Continue reading
Saying goodbye to the Blues…
NAVAL AIR STATION, PENSACOLA. Naval Air Station, Pensacola is the only game in town. As employer and as home-away-from home to countless sailors of all ages, both enlisted men and officers, the United States Navy dominates the scene. It’s what the town of Pensacola is all about. And the real star of the show is … Continue reading
Like a chicken with its head cut off…
WHAT’S COME OVER YOU, GREG? “You’re running around like a chicken with its head cut off. You were so sluggish while you were ill that we’d almost forgotten you could move this fast. So what’s up?” “Here’s the deal. Eight months ago the doctors told my wife I had only a few hours to … Continue reading
Happy Fourth of July…
FOURTH OF JULY, 2016. Independence Day! We celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence by the Continental Congress. That document declared the young American colonies to be the United States of America and no longer part of the British Empire. This most historic of days in our nation’s history is typically celebrated with fireworks, parades, … Continue reading
Kona Shaved Ice on a Super-Hot Day…
DEAR GREG, I’M A LITTLE CONFUSED. “I’m a little confused. I thought yours was a travel blog…and it was when you started your Great American Adventure in 2013. But recently you began adding posts about people you’ve met, former clients like professional athletes, your personal reflections, humor, cooking, the book you’re writing (“My Life in Court) and now … Continue reading
“That’s Gravy Designs.”
JUNE 29, 2016 WHO BUILT YOUR WEBSITE, GREG? People ask me all the time, “How did you build such a neat website? You didn’t learn how to do it in Law School, did you?” Of course not. Or if I did, it was so long ago that I don’t remember. So after I tell a … Continue reading
Sweet Home Alabama…
“SWEET HOME ALABAMA” SONG LYRICS. 1974. “Sweet home Alabama Where the skies are so blue Sweet Home Alabama Lord, I’m coming home to you.” ANOTHER POWERFUL THUNDERSTORM. Now back in Pensacola after our day at the Magnolia Branch Wildlife Reserve, I sit by our balcony window marveling at the powerful and dramatic thunderstorm which has … Continue reading
Another interesting person…
ANOTHER INTERESTING PERSON. I met a guy this morning who’s definitely “a person of interest.” As those of you who subscribe to my blog already know, I’m as interested in meeting people on our Journey as I am in seeing the sights through our commercial bus size windshield. I wouldn’t trade our visit to the red rocks … Continue reading
Happy Birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, FLORENCE. You still light up my life after all these years! I love you now more than I did 26 years ago when we got married. What memories we’re making on our Great American Adventure as we roam around the country seeking new places and friends. We’ll have fond memories of this Journey … Continue reading
