GLAD to see you are back!!

I do have a couple of comments. First is I totally agree about the summer disappearing. As a dedicated saltwater fisherman this summer was quite depressing even though I did catch a big wahoo before it closed. I am truly torn on how I view this event. With an undergrad degree in Natural Resources Management and a Master of Business the only thing I am certain of is that the content coming from the “Politics of the Day” would overload the largest sewer treatment plant in the world! I have less trust in the Federal system than at any point of my life. Instead of bashing and bullshooting there should have been someone in charge that cares more about the impact on the local people and environment than about the next election cycle or shareholders meeting…….you get the picture.

Second as a Captist (Baptist that married a Catholic) with four kids and a well stocked liquor cabinet, I have to say……well you get the picture.

Saw the Buffet concert on TV (as I don’t live in Paradise). It was great even if I wasn’t there in person.

As a cradle Catholic who is married to a full-blooded Union University Southern Baptist, what can I say about the Baptists except that I’ll bet you’ll never see in their Sunday bulletin what has been running in ours the past few weeks: “Join us for a day at the Casinos in Tunica. Only $20 with half refunded in play. Plus half off at Paula Dean buffett.” Now, ya gotta admit, Catholicism may instill a lot of guilt in its members, but we sure know how to have fun.

On that note, our minster here spoke from the pulpit against “the man who wrote Margaritaville” for holding his concert on a Sunday evening. I have to say all those people coming together and having a good time celebrating God’s creation here on the coast was more of a religious experience than what I had in church the Sunday before. You know what we say, though. Jesus turned water into wine over 2,000 years ago, and we Baptists have been trying to change it back ever since.
