Went to Shark Valley in the Everglades. Pretty cool. 15 mil
e bike loop. Saw every kind of water bird, gators everywher
e. Saw some little baby gators sunning themselves. The wate
r was full of fish, gar, bass, oscars. It was really good t
o see. Thank God for the Everglades. At least the bastard d
evelopers can't get their hands on it. Developers have ruin
ed my state.

Took my daughter out Saturday. We had
a great time. She hasn't been surfing in a while. She'
s a weird kid. She goes through phases. Started standup whe
n she was 8. Then at 13 she would only bodyboard. Then 14 o
nly bodysurf ...no boards. She wanted to experience the pur
est form of surfing. She started meditating and chanting an
d stuff too. Then she stopped. So she sponged with me on Sa
t. and was so peaced out afterward. It was great to se
e. I felt great in the water. Haven't been out for like 3 w
eeks. It felt so good and was having just one of those dead
on days. Top it off, that night Gerry and I went with frie
nds to the Mardi Gras downtown and had a blast. Heard some
really good zydeco bands. Fun weekend.
