blog post "apropos" to Thanksgiving

Just posted to my Facebook, my La La Land blog and to my Westside Income Property blog.

So the thought here is apropos of getting words out.

Words
as slippery as smooth grapes,
words exploding in the light
like dormant seeds waiting
in the vaults of vocabulary,
alive again, and giving life:
once again the heart distills them.

-Pablo Neruda, poet

See my Income-property blog
or my La La Land la-real-estate blog
and look for my
related Thanksgiving Thoughts post for this 2009.

I could rag about spending yesterday in court on a subpoena for a case 13 years old. or that I have too much work to do for my vacancies in apartments... or that my spouse is not having more family in for Thanksgiving dinner... Or that there is not enough fish. Or enough Snow on the mountains.

I really am Thankful for many good Tenant Applicants.

I really am Thankful for the fun of spending time with my son Thomas as his flag football team won first place.

And Thankful Ryan's high school water polo team won 4th in the region recently.

I am Thankful to be a fully employed and happy and proud Dad.

Fish Wish Granted. Thank you Lord. <"><

LA Times Letter to the Editor

My letter to the editor was published in the LA Times today page A 26, Letters, under "Not Enough Fish in the Sea". It is my reply on the MLPA news story describing the "Blue Ribbon" panel's recommendations being not strong enough for the enviros and too strong for the fishermen. So what do we infer from the reporters story... that it could have been worse?

My letter was edited far shorter than my original letter. But most of the point is still there. So I feel for the original writer of the LA Times story who did not have the space to fully describe the results.

I wanted details and results and Maps. None were offered.

http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/letters/ for my letter online.

http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-fishing-ban for the news story on Nov. 11th.

Hoping we do not get aced out of Point Dume in total. But fearing they are going to take it from us fishing and scuba divers. Will it be look but don't touch only from 2010 and thereafter for years to come?

Went out and Rambled around some... Fishing

Hey there, It was just so good to spend some time on the water.

We went out on Saturday (yesterday) and did a little fishing. We tried a new rock near shore and then some reef areas. Did hook a little hungry calico on light line. Not much happening inshore.

So we moved out to deeper water and got to load up on rock fish at the short banks. They make good fish-taco meat. Gary got the big fish award. Dennis who had good luck inshore was challenged out in the deeper water.

It was the best guy time I have had had since marlin fishing. It turned out I was with the same guys who were my marlin team. We had a really nice relaxing time. All three of us.


Fish Wish Granted. Good day on the water. Not bad on the catching. Even if the water in the bay has turned over and gotten colder.

slaving for my fishing club.

Just finished the Full Scoop newsletter.

Slaved on it from 6 pm to now. 11 PM.

Learned new software. That ate up some of the time.
Had to crop all the photos in one program and move them over.
Then had to type up a lot of content. Luckily I ran out of room.

Therefore I got to stop typing. Yeah.

Emailed out a 4MB pdf file to the anglers I know.

Now just need to burn it to a disk and find a printer to do the job.
