Coming home is always a good thing. Thank you so much to my family for ensuring that we all had a memorable time together. Bobbi, Iggy, Martin, Ecky...you are the best! To my nephews and nieces, Carlo, Morris, Popsie, Irene, JP, Addie, and company, thank you for all the surprises, the trips, the assistance on lodging, the fishing trips, and of course, the special Jollybee treat on my last night...

What do you do when you get the word that major storms are coming straight for your arse....you go to the end of the rainbow. Music: Somewhere over the rainbow by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. Purchased from iTunes store. Not intended for monetizing.

Hey guys turn up the volume and watch this very simple video on how to install fishing rod holders onto your Swell Scupper 14, or any other kayak for that matter. You may have to watch it several times...you'll see what I mean. Enjoy the music, enjoy the video, enjoy life. Do some ACTION!

All the folks you will see in this video share a common trait...they all are wanting for many things in life that we mostly take for granted. They also share another trait that has endeared them to me....they are abundantly rich in love, kindness and respect for one another. I am humbled and grateful for having been accepted by them into their little barrio. This morning as I was preparing to l...

...and the grass has not sprouted yet, but I can't wait to share with you my garden. It took about a couple of months at the height of Florida summer...the heat, the humidity, the bugs...but it's done. The buildings are in place, the flagstone courtyard has been installed, the fruit trees and other plants have been planted, and the ground has been seeded. Time to sit back and watch the landscap...

It's been a long couple of months but today I can enjoy the fruit of my labor.

Since the fish weren't biting, I indulged in some other hobbies. Here is one of them.

We are a group of ordinary people seeking an extraordinary Truth. The story of Christmas. A story that is centuries old. A story that is fraught with danger, hostility, struggles, faithful expectation, and redemption. The humble birth of a child. The affirmation of the Child Jesus as the King of Kings by the powerful men of the oldest religion who traveled from the east. A story that is univers...

This ain't no shark! Red drum - 36 inches (legal is 18-27 inches). I successfully released the monster back to the sea after 20 minutes of heroic effort to revive it. Win-win. Awesome!

I guess no fishing tonight

...or have I been forgiven? 4:00 am. Time to go home.

2:00 am now. Been here since 5:00 pm yesterday. Cold, wet, hungry. I am surrounded on 3 sides by Pensacola Bay. Behind me is the on ramp to the bridge, my only escape route if the bay waters start to surge over the seawall.

...but I had said some unkind words and suddenly the tempest was upon me.

Mama, you are my hero!
