On the Beaten Path
After a few months of treading lightly, my sprained foot is finally on the mend. To celebrate, I finally made my way back to Bayshore Boulevard to see the sunrise. I’m still not up for running so I just walked my usual route. Mother Nature was glad to see me…

Golden Hour
Here’s a little video my iPhone made from me. Enjoy these photos of golden hours from around the world — Madrid, Havana, Viña Del Mar, Sydney … but mostly right here in Tampa!

A Helluva Town
I had a few days in New York last week and made two videos. The first is from Central Park, where I didn’t get very far because it was below freezing. If you’re familiar with the park, you’ll note that all of these locations are south of 65th Street. The…

Life Underground
I’ve written twice before about whimsy — once about Sarasota, and once about Havana — and now I have more whimsy to share. I saw these little figures in the 14th Street/8th Avenue Subway station in New York. The bronze sculptures are part of a series called “Life Underground” by…

It’s All Greek to Me
When the Complimentary Spouse and I want a change of scenery and some delicious Greek food, we head to Tarpon Springs. This part of the Tampa Bay area was settled by Greek immigrants who worked as sponge divers, and they’ll still flying the Freak Greek flag today. Head to Dodecanese Boulevard…

The Art of War
I haven’t written much on the Daily Dave recently because it seems inappropriate to do something frivolous when people are dying in Ukraine. Suddenly, telling people what I’m wearing every day doesn’t seem proper. (And, anyway, it’s almost always a polo shirt and a pair of shorts.) It’s just so…

Yesterday’s installment of The Four Questions contained not one but two inside jokes about Tig Notaro’s show on Sunday night. If you watch this old clip from The Tonight Show, you’ll see what I was referring to: Want more Tig? She also incorporated this story into her set: Adele? Taylor…

Oh, the Places I’ve Gone!
BuzzFeed recently asked people to share their favorite travel photos. Scrolling through the article, my immediate reaction was “I could do better.” After that immediate reaction, my next reaction was “You’re such a snob, Dave.” My third reaction was, “Hey, if you just share a bunch of your own travel…

The Freedom to Curate
Joe Rogan and his medical disinformation podcast have reignited the national bitchfest over “cancel culture” and freedom of expression. I have a few thoughts and would like to add another term — “freedom of curation” — to the discussion. I’ve written before about how “cancel culture” does not exist. My conclusion…

The Little Rascal
Two years ago today, the Complimentary Spouse and I adopted Linus from a shelter in Ruskin. You might recall my post last year about the day we adopted him. Over the past year, the little rascal has become even more endearing. We love all his quirks. Well, not all. We…
