Backstory: our son got us into trading alternative currencies (i.e. bitcoin, ethereum, etc.) and stakes in platforms that operate on these currencies back in November. We set up a Coinbase account (we researched all the options and found this to be the easiest and safest platform to trade these tokens and currencies) and dove in… Continue reading Minted my first NFT!

Acadia Morning
If you’ve ever been to Acadia National Park in the early morning, or overlooked the Penobscot Bay at the edge of Bar Harbor, Maine, you’ll know the feeling… unspoiled beauty, nature, serenity.

One good turn…
The 2015 Twitter Art Exhibit was held in Orlando and opened on a Thursday night during the First Thursdays Art Event in downtown Orlando and I made the trek solo from work in Lakeland.
