This Was No Boat Accident
by Steve West on September 20, 2007

Vacation Tip #2: Maybe you're into sharks, pun intended. I, myself, am not. For the longest time this has been my greatest fear; being eaten alive by a wild animal. I think it may have started with viewing Jaws the first time. BTW, thanks Spielberg - one of my favorite movies of all time has given me a life-long phobia. This website has created a list of the ten most shark infested beaches in the world. Interestingly, the United States claims four spots, two in Hawaii.

Kinderfest
Brenda and I were going to take the girls sailing but there was rain in the forecast so we decided to put it off for a week. Rainy combined with slightly chilly (60 degrees) doesn't make for a good time outside of Wasilla. So we decided to go to Kinderfest at a local regional park. Go »
Autism Walk 2010
We go on this walk annually and have seen it grow tremendously over the last seven years. What began for us as a walk to support a local fundraising group has evolved into a national campaign spearheaded by the Autism Speaks organization. It hasn't all been good but the majority of changes have been welcome. Go »
