I have one word for you, young man – Plastics!
Since Dustin Hoffman heard those words in The Graduate, we have produced the equivalent of 5,000,000 battleships in weight of plastic. Coo-coo-cha-choo, Mrs. Robinson!

When we are on an Excellent Adventure, I regularly post about the recent activity. Otherwise, it’s stuff that interests me andβof courseβpictures of my family!
An Excellent Adventure…
We started traveling in our RV, the Starship Excellent Adventure, in 2021.
So far, we have traveled over 26,000 miles and spent about half a year on the road. We have visited national parks and other scenic locations on the West Coast, Rockies, Southwest, and Appalachians. Our next trip will take us into the Midwest.
Most Excellent!
Life, The Universe and Everything
I developed an interest in photography in college. I have owned numerous cameras, including underwater gear. I currently shoot an Olympus OM-D E-M5III (boy, that’s a mouthful!) and an iPhone 17 (or there about!).
So far, I’ve visited about 40 countries and 48 states! I especially love the National Parks.
Over the years, I have underwater photographed the Caribbean, Central America, and the Pacific.
I have had a lifelong passion for music. I was beating on the pots and pans as a kid!
I made my first project in 8th-grade shop class! I’ve made a lot of sawdust since then!
I aspire to be the person my dog thinks I am.
I live in a little beach shack, Valhalla, near the elementary school I went to. I’ve watched them launch rockets into space for over 65 years now!
I’ve continued the work started by my Dad in discovering our roots.
New Pages
I am always looking for new content to add as I surf the space-time continuum. This is, after all, my legacy!
My rides through the years started with the VW Beetle – which I learned to drive on – to the Starship Excellent Adventure!
Snarky Socal Commentary
Tubridy.net
I started my first website as a hobby using the notorious Microsoft FrontPage in the late 1990s. I studied web design at Emory in the late 2000s and became proficient in programming and graphic skills. I eventually did it full-time when I contracted for IBM in the 2010s. I retired at the end of 2019 as a User Experience (UX) Designer who spent over 40 years working in high tech.
This is a hobby for me now. I view it as my legacy since I leave no one behind at the end of the day. You can find other stuff I am interested in or places I have traveled on this site. I will continue to add more until I can’t do it anymore.
Cheers, Jake and Eddie
