Oh yeah, I have a blog.

The last couple of weeks have been relatively unremarkable. It makes it difficult to write a blog about our latest exploits when most of the week is remarkably repetitive. This job offers enough entertainment that the weeks are swift. I often find myself on Mondays remorsefully thinking about the six remaining days of work only to find myself befuddled that I have a day off with no plans on the following Saturday evening.
The Sunday before last I found myself blinking into the predawn darkness prepping a boat for some fishing. Or at least trying to prep it as we spent a good hour trying to figure out why the hydraulics wouldn't lower one of the engines on the boat we were on. The boat was provided by Captain Bob who is one of my work buddies old friends. I feel very fortunate to have made these new friends and connections as it will lead to future fishing  (Thank you www.blogger.com for having auto save, as my power just went out.) adventures and Stephanie will soon reap the rewards of some post fishing, we have to make it up to the girls, lounging on boat access only beaches.
Once we got out of the pier it took no time for Bob to announce that we were far enough out to start laying out our tackle. It was akin to watching an insect pupate. When I got on the boat it was a hard shelled simple creature with one ability, movement. Then the boat began to unfold. Within thirty minutes the boat had sprouted six antennas with feelers reaching out behind us enticing fish with bait wearing neon skirts. Now it was a beast blessed with the abilities reserved for those animals normally feared by man and considered kings by their brethren.

We didn't catch anything.

Stephanie and I made the decision to swap our state of wellness, so the following Sunday was spent relaxing/recovering depending on what side of the fence we were on. We ate good food and watched a couple of movies that we probably actually wouldn't have gotten around to for a while in the states, "127 hours" and "The Social Network".  It made me feel current as the Oscars aired that night and both of these films were up for awards.
I will try to be a more avid blogger, and take note of the small things that I have begun to pass over as I get use to this place and yet my few readers might find a moment of fancy in.
And, I am not taking enough photographs while I am here. Give me an assignment, anything (um, except relatives, I know you are going to say pictures of yourselves, give me a little more and I will work that detail into it) If you give me an assignment in the comments section I will post the outcome in my next blog.
