A Busy Summer and a Full Fall...

I've had my hands full this summer, trying to promote my book, organize a tour, run a business, and travel around the Sunshine State. Here are a few highlights:

The Sanford Shuffle premiered in June. Look for it the last Friday of every month
 at the Sanford Senior Center in downtown Sanford.

Thanks to the efforts of @JackieSnow, renewed attention has been given to this "fountain of youth" in Punta Gorda.
Read Jackie's article here, and listen to the NPR report based on her research here.

I was thrilled to see the Cyclorama at Warm Mineral Springs before the spa closed due to an enpasse between Sarasota County and the City of North Port. Efforts continue to re-open the spring to the public, and the latest news has the Mote Aquarium getting involved.

I just returned from Safety Harbor, home of Espiritu Santos Springs, where a friend pointed out this run of what appears to be mineral water coming out behind the spa – my fascination with Florida springs continues...

I finally joined Twitter, follow me at @OldFLA

Here are a few upcoming events that I'm involved with:

My friend Patrick Greene has recently assumed control of the Avalon Gallery
in the Rogers building in downtown Orlando and this artist talk featuring Florida legends
Sean Sexton and Gary Monroe is an example of the kind of work he is bringing to Central Florida.

The History Center will be hosting author and all-around great human being
Jeff Klinkenberg later this month.

Dr. Bob Knight will headline an event at Urban ReThink to create more awareness of the situation
with our springs in Florida.

Shuffleboard will return to Orlando at the Beardall Senior Center
on Saturday, October 5th. More about this soon!

I'll be speaking at the History Center in October

The Center for Earth Jurisprudence at Barry Law School in Orlando continues
to promote events highlighting the plight of Florida springs
including a September event with the talented Margaret Tolbert
and an October event with yours truly.

I will be speaking with Jane Goddard of the CEJ and Macy Zander of the Sierra Club
at Christ Church Unity on Thursday, October 24th.
