Well, I've decided to take the plung into blogging. Not really sure why. Blogging seems very weird to me. Why do I read the random thoughts of virtual strangers, and what makes me think that I have something significant enough to say that strangers will/need to listen?
I'm not sure where this will go.
Just got back from a trip to the beach. Port Aransas to be more specific. It was great! I did a lot of fishing on this trip, and so did my kids. My son who is just 5 1/2 caught his first solo fish. He baited the hook, walked into the surf up to his waist, gave it a big cast, walked back out of the surf, set his line, waited, set the hook when he got a strike and realed in the fish. I didn't lift a finger in helping him accomplish this. Just before he landed the fish, he looked over at me and said, "Dad, this is awesome." It was awesome!
Got to spend a great afternoon with an old fraternity brother as well. He was gracious enough to take me and my family out on his boat. It was a fun day of fishing. Many thanks to Jon.
I am envious of my friend Jon. He is lucky enough to live in Corpus Christi. The thought of moving to the Corpus area has crossed my mind more than a time or two. If I did, I think I would have to embark on a totally new career. I don't think I could stand living near the ocean while having a job that kept me inside all day.
