I feel like a fisherman who took the boat out scouting for some new spots, because his normal catch had dwindled to small numbers. But he didn't find any good new fishing grounds on the voyage, and nor can he return to port empty-handed - his creditors will be waiting. And so, he sails back to the familiar places he knows there will be some fish. But as the sun sinks low into the sky, these waters too, look unfamiliar and uncertain. And in some ways, this gives him hope - maybe the change he sees will signal a change in his catch as well. It also creates worry, as the change might not be for the better. I untangle my old net - it's frayed and thin now, but it will hold, and I cast it, with hope, into the water.
Let's see what's out there. . .

Hi Michael!!! It has been a long time! This was the first time that I have visited your blog... very cool. You should consider a working out here for a little while.. if nothing else, it is a good way to boost your bank account! :) Free room and board, etc.... Plus, it is a pretty nice life. I am definitely getting used to the island lifestyle. I'm not really looking forward to the day when I have to return to real life. We just rented our house too. Call us sometime. I'll try your old number, but after reading about your cell phone, I am doubting that it will work.
