In this picture, Reef Cup angler Mike Battista reels in one of the 21 sailfish caught and released on my boat in the Reef Cup 2010.  I let the owner of Ocean Yachts, the manufacturer of the boat, and his captain and mate run the boat down to Key Largo to fish the tournament since they did not have an Ocean demo to use this year.  J3 and Capt. Gene – looking forward to doing some fishing with you guys this summer!  Next time the boat wins a tournament, I want to BE THERE!

I bought my original iPhone on June 29, 2007 – the first day they were released.  After two years of dedicated service, I have replaced it with the new iPhone GS.  Three words: SO MUCH FASTER.  And one question to myself: Why the hell didn’t I do this sooner!  I hadn’t fully realized how nice 3G data service would be.  Updates and review coming soon.

Many of you are aware that I just lost my father to cancer on 2/10/2009.  He was the most amazing man I’ve ever known, and he will be missed more than I can express in words.  I’ll be writing a separate blog entry about that in a few days.  As I’ve gone through the emotional oscillations associated with an event like this, I noticed one unexpected emotion: anger.  I’m angry that I lost him to cancer – a disease that has received billions of dollars in research funding and still no way to save my Dad.  As a result, I’ve taken up a personal fight against cancer by joining a Relay For Life team to raise money for the American Cancer Society.  You can read about my personal fight here:

Things are great with Ryan and Piper as well, and we’re all looking forward to the coming spring and summer.  Trips to Lake Anna, shows at Nissan Pavillion, fishing the 54, fun times with family and friends, and and our eventual escape from city life breathes new life as we look toward the coming months.
