    It broke my spirit today to tell long time neighbors and marina members that the bayshore would not be affordable to them again. They don’t understand. They just want to be able to enjoy their passion in their retirement years. They don’t see the big picture. They don’t see the greed and corruption of powerful…

    All is quiet on a Monday. I’ve had one visitor to Money Island in the past 24 hours; except of course the three guys who make a daily drive through past my house. That’s a whole different story. The visitor is a disabled veteran whose son works on an oyster boat. He came down to…

    I spent time formulating a ‘go forward’ strategy that includes “going dark” on Facebook. Ifaced at least three lawsuits based on Facebook and I’m weakened and battered.  Blinkist helps.
