“Once upon a time not too long ago there were these two guys. One guy was pretty big so he was called Big Guy. The other guy wasn’t so big yet so he was called Little Guy. They were pals! They loved to go on these adventures together and each time Big Guy brought his compass and Little Guy brought his whistle. One day…………………….”
These words are taken from a relationship formed between a grandfather and his grandson. They took shape through circumstance, imagination and love in a series of bedtime stories. (We now share them as
Big Guy and Little Guy Adventure Stories.) They echo the joy of nurturing and the need for young boys to have a positive male role model. This relationship is an example of the unexpected that can happen to families at any time. We can make plans but we can’t plan outcomes!
As in most cases the outcome was a joyful experience. Somehow, through the twists and turns of life, a father with grown children found himself as surrogate father figure to his grandson. When a father helps rear his son and daughters there is an intuitive knowing the relationship will last a lifetime in some shape or fashion. However, little thought, if any, is given to one day being a “father figure” to a grandchild. Well it's happening!

"Munky Bytes from Cascadia" is a zany series of good news vignettes that introduces our company philosophy thru the lens of a digital camera. The initial family of characters (Juli Ette, Mondo and DaMunk) profile real and imagined good news stories to viewers. In doing so, we demonstrate one example of our "Entertainment and Education Resources". Any resemblance to real persons or monkeys is unintentinal.
Cascadia pertains to the general geographic region of the Pacific Northwest of North America (an area Blessed with a wide variety of resources). We recently travelled the length and breadth of Cascadia and believe its contribution to joy thru generosity knows no limits. We live within its boundaries and it's a really neat place to call home. Use of the name in no way implies ownership, affiliation with other groups or any serious political overture. Nonetheless, we're kind of a "puppet" government, according to Mondo.
Tony DaMunk referred to by some as “MunkyMan", is a playful personality with a bag full of different voices. He is the esteemed leader of the Banana Gang and our "Minister of Kindness & Silly Talking".
Juli Ette is our intrepid (Inter) Net reporter. Always searching for a site with a joyful story, Juli loves the flair of adventure and positive interchange between our planet and its' inhabitants. Juli is our "Minister of Infinite Possibilities" .
Mondo is sort of da Munk's co host….always needing things to be RIGHT! "No, No, No”! That's about it for Mondo…He shoulda been a Perfector Director! Needless to say, he is our "Minister of Correctness" and token Monkey (no offense to primates is intended).
