Long Time...
I've been pretty busy since last Summer, so I haven't posted here in a while. Let's catch up quickly:
1. My next book, New York State Lighthouses, comes out July 3. This is the main project that has been keeping me busy. I'll post more info on the web site and here as we get closer to the release date.
2. The 2006 LI Lighthouse Challenge is May 20-21. Cruises out of Greenport will run on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings. Check the web site for updates. Cruise tickets can be purchased from LighthouseTShirts.com (631-277-4611). Tell Nancy that Bob sent you.
3. The optic at the Fire Island Light was privatized earlier this year. Facing the prospect of having the powerful DCB-224 and it's cool sweeping beams replaced by an anemic VRB-25, the Fire Island Lighthouse Preservation Society took the bold move of taking responsibility for maintaining the old light. It's nice to see groups stick their necks out to do the right thing.
4. Wobbles the Lighthouse Kitty was ill over the Winter. Poor little Wobs had to deal with Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease. He's better now -- no more medication, and he's almost back to a regular diet, although we are handfeeding him twice a day to make sure he gets enough fluids and the right food. He's eager to get back out and have some new adventures!
5. Speaking of Wobbles, I am working with illustrator June Blair on a children's book about Wobbles. I expect the text to be done within the next couple of months, then we'll see what June comes up with, followed by the daunting task of finding a publisher.
That's it for now. More soon. :-)
