This summer has been great activity wise and terrible economically. Oddly I am ok with not rolling in green the last couple of years because I have been diving, climbing and riding a ton. I have lots of time and value that tremendously at this point.

My quarterly post! Just got back from a week in FL which was filled with cave diving. We dove a beautiful area called Merritt's Mill Pond. The caves were incredible featuring clear water, trolophiles, troglobytes, amd interesting rock formations. Also dove Ginnie Springs and Manatee Springs. It was a great trip.

Back from FL to shockingly cold weather. It was just below zero (F) last night and promises to be even colder today.

It's the simple recursive figures I like the best.

Just got back from shooting video on Catalina Island. We were six hours a day under water, working our asses off. It was good fun, though and we got almost 100hrs shot. Not a lot of re-shoots either after watching the rushes. It will all get cut down into 4 DVDs in stores soon!
