Can You Dig It Sand Tools

Each October I get to create a sculpture that honors the sacrifice in particular of Stephen Siller, but so many others. If you don't recognize the name, I strongly suggest you look him up and the Tunnel To Towers Run that came of his passing thanks to the amazing family he was born into. The things that the Siller Foundation does is nothing short of miraculous to the families they serve. Those being fallen soldiers, firemen, police (whose mortgages they pay off should they die in the line of duty) and are now creating housing complete with care services for homeless vets around the country... not just a few, but we're talking numbers in the thousands. The weekend was cold and rainy. A wetting rain to the bone. But together with dear friends Mark Schaffer, Darrel O'Connor and John Woodard we worked without complaint knowing that so many 'paid' for us to be there. I would also thank Sue Beatrice for the idea to use a version of the FDNY shoulder patch in the design.

(For the sand sculptors out there reading: This was exceptional sand. All done in soft pack except for the 'get' in Forget, which by the time the lettering was done it was like carving pure slurry! Ugh.....

We're spending the day preparing for the Wildwood Crest Sand Sculpting Festival on Friday July 12th. Printing up People's Choice tickets, registration info, semi-Pro bios and a hundred other things! As always there will be live music and a magician for the kids (Who's pretty funny I'll say!) And prizes! We're putting these together now too!
I do hope we'll see you there either as a contestant with friends and family or solo, or just as an amazed spectator. We'll be at the Heather Street fishing pier in Wildwood Crest!

This link will take you to the Can You Dig It Sand Tools "How To Build A Beautiful Sand Castle Video. It not short! It's a full video. I created this near 20 years ago with the help of Nina Long on vocals, the late Brian Shanley on drums and Greg Askins on the wild guitar.
I wrote and performed the theme song with Nina, edited the video on iMovie (or whatever was available back then) and Greg shot the film. Even now I am proud of the results. It shows you step by step how the video castle was made. I hope you enjoy and share and I you are so inclined after watching, you can get your own set of tools at www.canyoudigit.com

If you've seen me over the last few years you might have noticed a limp when I moved. If we were on a sand pile, you might have seen me stumble, need help climbing up ands down a pound, need a hand getting up from kneeling and even falling into a form :) I figured it was age related and beating this body up with sports, sand and woodwork. After a series of doctor visits to Hospital For Special Surgery in NYC, (An amazing place by the way) many X-rays and an MRI they connected neuropathy in the feet, severe knee pain, sciatica, and general leg weakness to spinal stenosis: I had been wondering if I would be out of sand art sooner than I wished. Last week I went in for a bi-lateral epidural....... the results were magical. No limp! No stumbling! No need to get help getting up from a deep cushioned chair! No asking someone else to pick up the 4' X 8' sheet of plywood!!! And now looking forward to my next pain free sand sculpture (Cayman Islands!)

Thank you Dr's Beatty, Chalmers, Del A Valle, and the podiatrist whose name escapes me at the moment, at HSS. And it wouldn't be right to not mention my nurse and primary care physician, Doctor Nina :) The best caregiver and chef anywhere!

I can move without worry of falling..... (I've been going down the stairs backwards for a year!) It's feels like a real honest to goodness miracle. My heart goes out to anyone living life in near constant pain. It's even hard to think. I can share these doctors phone numbers, but Nina is mine!
