Well, we’re hoping for some surf but as of 6:30 tonight there wasn’t much to speak of. Surfline was calling for 3-4ft but as usual I couldn’t hit because of the 6pm work time. I had planned on getting up at 5:30 am, yeah that early, to make a dawn patrol out of tomorrow morning with Phil but I doubt it’s going to happen unless it picks up overnight. Looks as if I’ll still be getting up to check the cameras but more than likely I’ll be back in bed right after. There’s still hope....

This is the second time in two years I’ve gotten one of these damn things in the mail. You may remember last time where I actually got out of it. Hopefully I’ll have the same luck as back then but we’ll see. Not looking forward to it that’s for sure. I have to make my phone call on December 9th....

When I woke up this morning it was 50 degrees and the temperature is slowly but surely rising (it’s 56 now). It looks like it’s going to be another cloudless, gorgeous day and to top it all off we may have some surf as soon as tomorrow morning. Now it’s just a matter of getting my ass out of bed at 5:30 to get to the beach by 6, we’ll see if that actually happens. If it’s good it probably will but there’s no way of telling until I actually get down to the beach. Surfline’s calling for 3-4ft which...

Bob and Mary are a charming older couple that lives in my building and are as nice as people get. I helped Bob set up 610ClematisStreet.com a few months ago and he’s been at it ever since. Last night they invited all of us “kids” down for dinner with them and Jim and Barbara, their next door neighbors. Overall it was Chad, Kristen, Eli, Bob, Mary, Barbara, Jim, a friend of Kristen’s and me. Really nice evening with great food. Outside was kind of chilly be we all loved it. I’m pretty sure each of us was originally from a...

Sunday afternoon was the perfect time to hit the beach here in West Palm. The tide was dropping, the water was warm (though the air was about 65 and chilly as hell) and I had finally convinced my bro Phil to get his board out and join me. It’s getting dangerously close to full wetsuite season but it’s all good. I switched back and forth between my 8’4″ and my 7’7″ as the surf changed conditions. Tons of good lefts as the swell was coming out of the North East, most good sets right around the should high range. It...

Thanks for all of your sentiment everyone. She seems to be doing just fine with two plates and eight screws in her collar bone. I’m not sure how many stitches she got but everything should heal nicely once it’s all said and done. Right now she just needs to get some rest and I’m sure she’s feeling better already. Thanks to Trish as well for sending my Mom flowers, that was very sweet....

After 8 weeks of pain from her car accident my Mom’s finally going to have a plate and some screws put into her broken collar bone tomorrow morning. The original set never really took and it’s not begun to heal at all so the doctors decided to go ahead and schedule the surgery. Good luck mom, I love you....

When I spend half my day in the office asking for something to do it’s a bit concerning. I know everyone I’ve spoken to is running a little slow lately and no one’s really spending any money on much, especially companies and their marketing budgets. That’s where my life-blood primarily comes from. I’ve been in this seat twice before and I’m going to be honest with you, it was tough every time and the outcome was never that great. The first time I was working at a company called the Mercurio Group. The lack of business was primarily the work...

A gorgeous Friday morning and hopefully a stress free day ahead. Right now I’m really looking forward to happy hour in Delray at my favorite little spot Falconhouse. Phil and I are heading down after work (barring any labor pains from his wife) and meeting up with some other friends for few drinks. If you’re in the area come on down and do a shot with us....
