Another Open Mic Night

My son Brian wrote and sang three songs last week at the Boulder Coffee House in Fitchburg. He was GOOD! I am so impressed with his songwriting and singing ability. It takes tremendous courage to step in front of an unknown crowd and sing your heart out but it seems to come very easy for him. He is relaxed, has a great stage presence, and wins over the crowd with his easy-going style and presence.

GREAT JOB SON!

My Big Catch

This is my "big catch" that didn't get away! I caught this 22", about 5 lb striper off the coast of Newport (it could have been off Salisbury - I can't remember). Anyhow, three of them managed to find the bait but since none of them were over 28" long, everyone got to go home (even ME!)

The best part? After a few minutes of "am I going to hurl or not?" I caught this bad boy and felt much better about everything! Later, I caught a bunch of skates and more crabs that I wanted to (the little buggers loved the clam bait I was using!) I came home sunburned but boy, what a trip!
