Sunny Side Up: Signs You Should Leave Florida

May 27, 2021 by Philip Long

I listened to the sound of my tires as they gripped the dirt, enjoying the rush of speed and wind on my face. As I rode my mountain bike in Alafia River State Park, all was well. That’s when I heard the croaking. Hmm, that’s not a bullfrog, that’s a gator. Wait, why is he croaking from over there? And over there?

Seeds are the reason I’ve been looking forward to weed season. I want to have a … [Read more...]

Sunny Side Up: Mornings

December 30, 2020 by Philip Long

There are times when I hate Florida. Namely, morning time.  While another place, like Seattle, Washington, has the decency to wake you with respect, with its soft, cloudy light gently filtering into your room, Florida clashes its symbols by spewing sunlight to crash through your blinds to slash at your puffy eyelids.   Florida days scream, “We’re morning … [Read more...]
