Nice as usual there Jerry. Do you keep your booze in the snake room or do you get to watch them while eating dinner? Ha Ha. I remember from our conversation.

Hi Joe,

when dinner is not underway, I often take photographs there as the lighting is good. Prior to moving into a co-op we owned a home for about 10 years, but as my mother aged (coming up on 75) we decided to move east out near Long Island so we could be closer and be of assistance. It's a sacrifice but has proved beneficial in several ways.
I went from an entire furnished and functional basement (oh man, had a pool table, several dart boards, mini bar, the works....) to working out of a medium-sized walk-in closet now. So yeah, I take to the big table for photo time during the cool months. Otherwise, I prefer taking photos outside but then again in the warmer months I'm either herping or at the beach. Yeah, TRY and keep me home after several months of brumation.

The booze -- ehhhh, a modest collection of white wines as well as tequilas and rums. Salud!!!

Somehow tequila is always afoot, even on vacations. But this one was taken in Mehico -- so that doesn't count! That's just par for the course. Actually, we had just gotten back froma show at the resot where a raffle had taken place -- I won the grand prize with this bottle. Coincidentally, we had this neat tree frog (I'm not into amphibs so I never identified it...) stuck to our cabana door upon return after dark. Two very well-behaved specimens . . .

Your daughter is cute as can be! Funny, my daughter picked out a tree from for a pet at the last snake show. She has held in twice in three weeks and guess who gets to take care of it? I am a beer man myself, but I used to be into wines in a big way. The hard stuff makes me feel like hell the next day. I am a whimp!

Thanks Jerry,
I was starting to nod off there for a while. I'm starting to
get a little bored here myself. I can't wait to pull the multicincta out of the garage for the season. I can't wait to see those little black noses pocking out again.....ahhhhhhh.
