Sitting with my daughters, watching a sea eagle soaring on the updraft at the end of our point - yesterday evening!

Playing downball with my girls and hearing them say, "Nice try," when the other gets out.

Getting a text from my wife to say she's reached the top of a mountain (literally).

Guests telling us how great our place is... Long Point Break | Facebook (as if we really needed reminding

Heard this today on a promo.

I was a part of the Hurricane Andrew relief effort. This always reminds me.

'course the vid reminds me of my friend (and third cousin) Ralphy Turtoro. Hi did a Louis Armstrong performance in 6th grade. He played the Sax though.

This too is a great idea that I might have to steal. Not for me, but boy do I know someone who needs an extra large thorazine slurpee or twelve.

You old softie.

Love me some Louis. I've been trying to find his version of "How Long Has This Been Going On" for eons and can't find it. Love it, love it, love it.

Same Company - well the one that bought the bank I worked at - new boss - similar job. For the next few months I have to do the new job with the new boss and the old job with the old boss, but I found out after the fact, if I had not applied, I would have been out of a job after the system conversion in Feb. So I'm counting my blessings ... even if my sanity is at risk trying to do both jobs!

Yeah. We had a glorious day today. Seas were blown up all week with small craft warnings. I had only planned to dive today, because Mark (mm2002) and I had made plans.

People had been sufing all week. A storm blew through this AM and the seas got glassy, but still anice ground swell.

Mark and I had flat seas, 82 degrees and 70ft plus viz. Pleasant surprise. And..we found a few pearls and something which looked like a gold coin.
Neither of us however brought a camera.

(Mark, two more of the gems came out of my wetsuit pocket while cleaning. Recovered one. Will look tomorrow for the second.)
