I think it’s only proper that they finally invited me back for a lecture - always a pleasure to visit & give back to my alma mater!

Words are cunning and deceiving, overly complex and often misleading. But not the eyes. Eyes will tell all, your very essence and your innermost thoughts. Listen to what people tell you with their eyes.

When the night sets in, when the storm approaches and when lightning lights up the sky - that’s when their party begins! Love it!

Either my eyesight is totally gone or this tower is leaning to one side… I hereby dub thee ‘The Leaning Tower of Tampa’!

As John Lennon said, Imagine… just before they told me ‘no pictures allowed’, I couldn’t walk past this one… You may say I’m a dreamer!

Frame within a frame? Or simply focusing on the finer details…

… and then we learn that true beauty is short-lived and that all magic lasts but only a moment… is that why we have our phones ready to snap an image, trying to make it last longer?

The same beat, the same place, at the same time - and then their eyes (and phones) met and they saw one another…

What pose would you pick for this crazy dude? 😜

Don’t know what’s wrong with me - when I hear and see them, I have to walk over, I have to leave some money in the box, I just have to be there. It’s a bit of light in the dark room…

Imagine you see a portal to hell, wouldn’t you want to check it out? Well, apparently access is restricted- maybe it’s for the best…

A meditation garden or a cult meeting place? Just let your imagination run wild…

I’d love to talk about people killing and raping each other, but I’ll leave that up to TV and mass media. Once again, let’s mention a good guy for a change - Tom Meleski. For over 20 years, Mr. Meleski had been waking up at the same early hour and going out for a 2-mile walk through the streets of Langhorne. On the way, being a war veteran, he saluted every flag he had come across; he would then get a cup of coffee at a local coffee house (his tab was always miraculously pre-paid) and walk over to the cemetery to spend a day with his wife of 50 years. Mr. Meleski passed away last week… they simply don’t make them like that anymore…

It’s good to come across a place that represents my life in two accurate, spot-on words…

This dude is unreal - Eric Darius is one of the most dynamic and talented people I’ve ever met, yet so humble and easy to be around. A really great show!!

Somehow the intersection looked familiar and I realized that I was standing at the place where Satriale’s used to be - the pork store, where Mr. Soprano & his crew used to hang out, and where countless legendary scenes were filmed. The store is no more, yet it will always be piece of television history, part of the screen magic that these guys created, forever.

I knew that Trump had his own buildings, casinos, restaurants, bars, wines, ice creams and even a fragrance. Here, as I was hiding from excessive heat, I ended up in a store that sells shirts, hats, mugs and Lord knows what else - probably underwear as well. Most importantly - Let’s Go Brandon mugs! Is this for real or just a desert-heat mirage?

With ‘The Crystal Method’ blasting, I’m back to 45 solid minutes - just me, sunrise, the road and a huge dog (which luckily turned out to be a deer 😆)
