[ Update: the sale fell through . I still have my Hobie, and I don't know if I'm going to put it up for sail again. It's just too much fun - even if it does take a full day to get out there & back.] I sold my Hobie yesterday, almost 6...
there’s just a bit of water pouring down right now The rain started about an hour ago, and it’s a total gulley washer. We’re drinking from the fire hose. just before the deluge started here’s what it looks like right now Notice...
The weather the past couple of days has been absolutely amazing. I have a bad case of spring fever. I hope to take some vacation days starting tomorrow and get outside & enjoy this while it lasts. One conference call on the schedule in the morning...
I hope you took the opportunity to vote. Can't wait to sit back tonight with a bag of popcorn, a beer, and the TV, to watch the analysts dance and dance.
Fay. Gustav. Hanna. Ike. Josephine. It's the tropical storm busy season - and this year has had a bumper crop. The folks in south Florida have had a difficult time focusing on anything but the storms that have been rolling in every few days. Fortunately...
Poor New Orleans is right there in the center of the bulls eye for Gustav. Forecasted to make landfall sometime early morning to the west of New Orleans, it is expected to grow to a category 4 hurricane. Ouch. MSNBC has a nice interactive tracking program...
Fay hit the state for a second time this morning a little bit south of Ft. Myers. The good news (for Tampa folks anyway) is that it seems to be drifting more to the east as it heads north. We haven't had a drop of rain from it yet. So far the prevailing...
Hmmm. Tampa is usually one of the gutters in the Gulf of Mexico Hurricane Bowling Alley. But this time, it appears as though we're right in the pocket for (currently) Tropical Storm Fay.
Are back in first place again. The new stadium initiative has died (again), but the Rays continue their winning ways. Last night they took the second game in a series against Boston. That's the best record in MLB right now. The All Star break is just...
I love living in Tampa. One of the reasons? The almost daily afternoon thunderstorms that roll through for an hour or so then go away. Right now the sky is almost pitch black, the thunder is rolling, and the rain is about to come down in buckets.
And the Rays have the best record in baseball. Cool.
We're way into May and what's this about the Rays? 2nd place in the AL East? #5 in the AL itself? A game ahead of the Yankees? That's gotta be a misprint. Well, the Yankees have gotten off to a slow start the past few years but always come...
One for lunch, the other for dinner. The result? I'm suddenly wide awake at 4 AM.
Well, that was a quick spring. By the looks of things we're already into summer. It's not even 1PM and we're already over 80 and climbing. Yesterday we had our first batch of the typical afternoon thundershowers. . . [update: and here we are...
I was in Orlando for a business meeting today. Tonight after dinner Scott, my roommate for the night, had the TV on a weather channel as we talked about stuff. The hours flew by and suddenly it was after 11 PM. We were about to turn off the TV when I...
