    MY OWN RECORDINGS:

    Baby laughter

    Honestly this episode had me yanking my hair out, cursing under my breath repeatedly, and literally crying. The curse of working on the halloween episode lives on, I ran into challenges, obstacles and a list of tech snafu's - one after another. I started around early and went on till dark, 13 hours... so when you listen please have patience if the sounding isn't completely normal and just know it's because I truly love this podcast and have fun doing it that I didn't give up! This deserves some saving my skin shoutouts...

    Each year, Split Rock Lighthouse is lit on the anniversary of the wreck of the steamer Edmund Fitzgerald. The Fitzgerald was lost with all hands during a terrible storm on Lake Superior on November 10, 1975.
    The weather was awful for the lighting. It was raining. It was windy. It was cold. There were 5 foot waves crashing into the shore. I stayed long enough to shoot just a couple of photos and then headed for the hotel to enjoy a nice pool and some warm pizza with my wife and kids.

  • The words you hear in this episode were written by Tessa's dear late Grandfather Gerald, where he talks about his time in the Second World War. You will hear about girls, training, SNAFU's, fun times - like seeing Glen Miller perform (before he disappeared forever of course) and much more!
