Over the moon to announce that I have signed an international publishing agreement with @crowtalespublishing for the children’s book “I’ll Visit Space from Here!” Thank you to @drpoppygibson and @altries for your belief in the vision and for all your support! 🙏 😊 🚀 #space #book #read #writing

Coming Soon Message for the children’s book “I’ll Visit Space from Here!” Written by Ted Samaras. Background is space themed with stars, planets, and comets!

Book Description of “I’ll Visit Space from Here!” With space themed background. Here is the description: “Through the eyes of Leo, a curious and enthusiastic space lover, young readers explore the wonders of the universe from naming planets and moons to dreaming up creative careers connected to space. Whether it’s Mission Control, podcasting, or designing astronaut suits, Leo discovers countless ways to be part of the cosmos without ever boarding a rocket. Filled with charming illustrations and a gentle message about following your passion from wherever you are, the book inspires kids to dream big - with their feet on the ground and eyes on the stars.”

Came to an aisle intersection inside Walmart while running an errand. While I ceded the right of way, the other person said “Oh no…after you. I have never seen a Pelicans fan before!” 🤣 🤦‍♂️ #pelicans #nola #basketball #nba

While not exactly a #filibuster, seeing Senator @CoryBooker speak on the house floor for this long inspired me to share an early episode of the Ski Cap, Hoodie, and Shorts #podcast with my own length speech. Enjoy! ☺️📢
