Jesus Walked I Swam - $3000 Goal Reached!
With just a few days left before my solo 10k marathon swim across the famous Sea of Galilee in Northern Israel for charity, Jesus Walked I Swam, I am proud to announce that we have reached our goal of $3000 for The Jewish Home for the Aging and for SAGE. A million thank you's to all the many donors, friends, family and strangers who donated their money, goodwill and support to two great causes for the elderly, I will not let you down. If you have still not donated or want to, please visit
www.jesuswalkediswam.blogspot.com, for easy online donations and other donation option.
Goals like rules were meant to be broken!

Beekeeping in Speedos
This July 4th weekend Brendan and I had the enormous pleasure of staying in a beautiful Upstate NY ranch house called Rockcreek Farm in the verdant woods of Coxsackie, New York. I know what you are thinking, great name for a town. Well, one of their main streets is called Climax. Yeah, I'm serious. Anyways, imagine a gorgeous 19th century two-story farmhouse amidst hundreds of acres of rolling green hills, a beautiful pond, heated swimming pool, beautiful forest and the glorious sounds of nature surrounding us in a cacophony of serenity. It was amazing, thanks to the lovely wonderful beekeeping couple Douglass and Matthew, two of the nicest, sweetest and most popular gays in all of Upstate NY. They shared their house, their food, their pool, and their fascinating beekeeping hobby. They own and tend to over 60,000 bees and temporarily allowed us into their wonderful world. I just so happened to take some photos of this weekend below.

Are they beekeepers or is this a sequel to the movie Outbreak.
The two colonies of bees over 60,000 bees total

(It takes one to know one)
No more beekeeping suits left, so I had to wing it.
Luckily I had on protective speedos.
Who doesn't love honey?
The larger queen-bee below, taking a break from laying 1500 eggs a day, phew!
