Bruce's Good Morning with a Bonus Idea


What if you woke up every day and thought about the day before and said, "Wow, what a wonderful day!"? Wouldn't that be cool?

The Starfish Story



Loren Eisley's "The Starfish Story" is meaningful to me because it's about making a difference, one act at a time. This video is my retelling of "The Starfish Story".

Good morning!



This is going to be another activity-packed day.

Good morning on May 27th!



It's another great day in Southeastern North Carolina as we head into Memorial Weekend. Consider that the only time you can ever get anything done, whether it's work or play, for yourself or others, is RIGHT NOW!

Good morning and good day, May 26th



What a great day today is, already! With lots more to come.

Rebecca and Brian's Re-Wedding

On May 25, 1990 Rebecca and Brian Moxey were married. In a church. With a big reception. With family and friends.

On May 25, 2010 they recommitted to their vows. In a somewhat different way.

It was a total surprise to Rebecca and to their daughter Hannah.






Everything is ready.

We all went to O.C. for a great meal and celebration.

My Adventure with Dancing with the Brunswick Stars - Journal Entry 9 - Our Fifth Practice

If you've been following this blog/journal about preparations for Dancing with the Brunswick Stars, you might already guess what Dancing Pro Kimberly Boggs was saying when I took the photo below:

"Come ON, Bruce, you've got to work with me here!", says Kim (quite often).

Check us out as we work hard at practice this week:

And of course, we just might change direction from "Dancing with Swords." Here are our current thoughts on the matter:

Mine first (only because Kim insists):


And Kim's:


I guess the jury (really meaning Kim, because she's in charge) is still out on The Minuet.

And in case you haven't heard about it before, Dancing with the Brunswick Stars is a serious, big deal fund raiser for Brunswick Community College. This year will be the third and final year of this event. Last year they raised more than $330,000 in scholarship money for students at BCC, so you can see this is a pretty big event. The actual event will be held August 6th, but you can go to the website today to vote, buy tickets, or even become a sponsor for the event.

Check out this website with photos of Stars and Pros for Dancing with the Brunswick Stars.

And here's a ballot for voting for Star/Pro combinations. Feel free to print it and vote (hint).

Brown - out!
