Greg -
At the risk of sounding like an old geezer, the internet is truly amazing. This blog has been viewed by people across the globe. We've had twenty views by someone in Russia (Spa-see-ba and Das Vadanya!), and somewhat regular viewers in Malaysia, South Korea, Australia, Costa Rica, and Germany (en shul deiganzie Bitta!) just to name a few. It's dawning on me as I write this that I've either been out in the woods for too long or am just an old geezer - by the way, I also am fascinated by microwave ovens.
Today is our Sunday and we've had two of the most gorgeous days imaginable. There was not a cloud in the sky when I rose this morning and the day has been cool, dry, and breezy ever since. If the weather was like this year round, there would be a million people living here (current population: 2,200 according to the 2009 census).
Jack and I did a load of laundry, hit the swimming pool (Jack swam for ninety minutes), and I ran about ten miles along the waterfront down to Shoemaker Bay and back.
We'll be checking our crab paught (rhymes with spot - I can't spell it correctly or my computer's screening software will restrict access to the blog) later today on our way back to camp. We've had it soaking in Shoemaker Bay for the past few days. Jack and I tried a wide variety of spots around the island last year, placing the paught with the canoe, and we never did as well as when we dropped it right off the working dock at Shoemaker. The dock also offers cleaning tables and is far more stable than trying to wrestle a huge crab paught into the canoe without taking an unexpected swim in 50 degree water.

Jack really looks like he's growing up in this picture of him! (Don't tell Janet!) Beautiful Pics.
ReplyDeleteYour fo ne tic german spellings are interesting, to say the least (and this case I think the less said the better).
ReplyDeleteThe humidity really makes Jack's hair curl!
I'm geezier than you are! I am fascinated that people we don't know all around the globe read what we post on the internet. And frankly, I don't really know how it works -- that's the part that makes me geezier. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the photos. I predict Jack could be the next Roger Ebert, should he choose to do so. And the sunset is spectacular. My word, you are in an unbelievably beautiful place.
Love to both of you.
