I consider myself to be a person with a great attitude. I usually see the upside or tend to look at the potential of people and places rather than what is actually before my eyes. Whenever I arrive in New York City, the situation is no different. For some reason everything smells just peachy and […]

New Developments
June 16, 2006 – 3:58 pm
Many of the contacts that we have made with various aid organizations, sponsors and media companies have seem to come about completely by chance. We usually get contacts from friends, friends of friends, relative of friends and even just casual conversation around town in bars and restaurants. One of the latest developments for TWBR was […]
Some facts or possibly fiction?
June 8, 2006 – 11:08 am
Most of this sounds right. If anyone sees something that is not true in this post, please let me know. I did not have time to fact check this stuff, but it is interesting all the same. AlaskaMore than half of the coastline of the entire United States is in Alaska. AmazonThe Amazon rain forest […]
Sometimes email has its drawbacks.

My recent post about the Tiger and Piglets was only half true. Unfortunately the fake story is a little more heartwarming, but I feel it is my duty to let eveyone know the real story, which one of our readers so generously brought to our attention. So I would like to give my apologies to […]
TWBR blog is now the animal kingdom.
May 26, 2006 – 5:36 pm

Unfortunately, due to complications in thepregnancy, the cubs were born prematurely and due to their tiny size,died shortly […]
Buffaloes are tougher than Bears?!

I received these pictures from a good friend who lives up in Montana. They are pretty amazing. I love big burly animals. The next couple of paragraphs explain where, what and when. The pictures were taken in Fountain Flats, which is about 10 miles from Old Faithful. The buff-griz encounter is one of the coolest […]
The camera is back.

When you rely on electronics for work, it can be a really great excuse that "my computer isn’t working" or "the network is down" if you want to take an afternoon off. On the other hand, the unreliability of electronics makes me look bad. On our recent trip to the Blue Hole in New Mexico […]

May 9, 2006 – 11:14 am
This past week, Shoppman and I went to the Rocky Mountain Outdoor Writers and Photographers annual conference in Moab, UT. We first met up with the group after sleeping on the side of the road the night before (hey we got in at 2 a.m., drank some beer and didn’t want to pay for a […]
Trip to the Twilight Zone
April 27, 2006 – 3:45 pm
Well, one of the goals of our trip is to discover places and things around the world that not too many people many know about. In some cases, you don’t need to go that far to discover something that is not that well known and definitely on the random side of things. the Colorado Gator […]
Multi Sporting at its best.
April 26, 2006 – 9:32 am
We have finished our Scuba Certification and it was a really great time. The blue hole is overcrowded, murky because of the overcrowding and cold, but all of that seems to fade away when you are breathing underwater. We had the chance to go down to 65ft, which was a bit of an accident as […]
