Piranha marketing and St Martin

Hi all, Jane and I are off to St Martin on Friday. We will be missing all our friends from Piranha in Arizona this week because of the scheduling conflict. It seems it happens every year. Jane's birthday is April 25th and we will be celebrating it on the island again. This is her favorite place and I am quite fond of it to. I get up at first light every day and put towels on our beach lounge chairs, then I go fishing for snook or tarpon until about 8:30 or 9. I then take a short walk to the french bakery and get great croissants and go back and have coffee and breakfast with my beautiful wife. We then get ready to go to the beach , either the one at the resort or one of the many great beaches on the island. Nights begin at the tiki bar happy hour where drinks are two for one from 4 to 6 and then we have dinner at one of the outstanding resturants or eat in. We may go to one of the many casinos at night or just walk on the beach. It really is a magical place and time. Do I miss seeing our friends from Piranha? Sure I do, but I cannot pass up this adventure. Maybe next year Joe Polish will have his meeting in St Martin. LOL Peace CatmanDon

deep sea fishing trip

Hi all, Myself and five other people went deep sea fishing out of Hampton Beach in New Hampshire. We had a great day. The sea was calm and we went about 20 miles out and fished in 200 to 290 ft of water. We caught cod and haddock. Between the six of us we brought home over 100 lbs of filets. It was an awesome trip. I gave away some fish to friends and they were very happy. The website for the charter is http://www.hamptonbeachcharters.com/ground.html check them out. Our captain was Nate and he is only 23 yrs old but very knowledgeable and a very capable captain. Thats it for now. Peace CatmanDon

LIVE EVERY DAY LIKE IT IS YOUR LAST

Hi all, A good friend of mine died Saturday while reading a bedtime story to his 8 yr old daughter. A massive heart attack was the culprit. He was only 52 yrs old and left behind three young children and a beautiful wife. He also did not have any life insurance and that is most disturbing. Everyone thinks it is to expensive until you need it. My heart goes out to the family. The man had touched so many lives in our small community and he will be dearly missed. So, live every day like it is your last, tell the people you are close to that you love them often. Mend the fences now before it is to late and plan for the unknown by protecting your families future should anything happen. Stay healthy and do a yearly physical. If you don't take time for preventative maintenance now you will have plenty of time when you are incapacitated with illness. Make the wise choice. Peace for now. CatmanDon
