And like many of you struggling to make ends meet in this entrenched recession, he's grown tired and weary of paying taxes and seeing from his vantage point diminishing returns in the Southwest Volusia community he and his wife and children call home.

NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- I have a lot of catching up to do today once I wake up. I say that because I have yet to get to sleep having just left the hospital after a five-hour visit from midnight until 5:30 a.m. for severe abdominal pain.

NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- After spending most of Saturday in bed with this stomach pain over the last few days, drove up to Flagler Avenue to get a glimpse of Cinco de Mayo and just as I thought: An adult crowd partying it up.
I returned home an hour later and after editing and posting new blogs for Mike Visconti who wrote about Michelle Obama and Ellen Darden with a strong read on race, I was weak again and had a hard time sleeping.
NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- I had a musician friend of mine who is a blues musician ( he won’t play any other style of music no matter how much you pay him) send me this memo. It is adorable and so true. Musicians and non-musicians will laugh and enjoy. My wife Ann is an excellent vocalist. She has performed with me in concert all over the world. I kid her all the time about not being able to “sing the blues.”
