A Fishing Trip

You might have noticed I haven't posted in a couple of days. Here's what I was doing:

I flew south to the Florida-Gulf-Coast intending an annual Tarpon Fishing trip with my father. Fishing is a great family activity and there no better sport fish in the world than Tarpon. Each year tens of thousands of Tarpon move into the Boca Grande Pass on the gulf coast. They are there for a couple of months in a feeding frenzy (bunches of blue crabs).

Anyway, the trip was terrific except for the surprise Tropical Storm Barry that hit the area! But the whether calmed and we got out for some great fishing the next day.

Sorry for the absence, but strong families are made of connections and rituals like this fishing trip.

Young or old, it brings back the same feelings and way of connecting.
