Gidget

2001-2012
Dean & Maria and family are mourning the loss of our sweet puppy Gidget. And although we adopted her out 9 year ago when we moved to Florida so she could have a better life in Utah, the knowledge of her death wasn't any less sad. She was hit by a car yesterday which took her life.

These photos where taken in 2008 when we were in Utah visiting Gidget at her new adopted home after five years had past since her adoption. It was so fun to see her and her excitement to see me when I thought that she may had forgotten me. She never left my side the entire visit. She loved me and I her.

Dean the DJ

My flight attendant friend Bert, pictured here in the red, is also a part-time DJ at a community radio station in Tampa. Monday was the anniversary of the death of Buddy Holly who died in a plane crash. The producers of the station thought it a great idea to do a show playing tribute to musicians that have died in plane crashes. So what would be more fitting than to have flight attendants running the in-between the music commentary. The subject matter being somewhat heavy...with the thought of dead people going down in a ball of flames, they figured a bit of humor on the side would lighten the mood. Hence, my invitiation to participate (because Bert thinks I'm funny). I was alittle nervous at the thought of it, but once we got started and I got on a roll, it was a blast. So if you have 2.5 hours to kill and you want to hear me on the radio, log on and enjoy.
