I do not believe that we have the power to rid the world of bullying. I believe the answer to the issue of bullying rests with all of us, especially the victims of bullying. I am not suggesting that victims of bullying are responsible for bullying.

Seafood On The Grill! - by Bob Alexander

Seafood On The Grill! - by Bob Alexander: "I love the Florida Gulf Coast! I especially love to catch fish and eat them for dinner. That's one of the benefits of spending vacation time where seafood is plentiful and you have plenty of time to enjoy the fruits of the sea. Fishing the area around Apalachicola Bay in Florida is just one of those places where you can catch fish everyday you're there, then come home and fix it on the grill for dinner.
