Musings From The Cove
Hurricane Remembrances
This year’s Labor Day weekend was also the twentieth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. The almost 1400 lives that were lost, reduced from the original 1800 estimated in Mississippi and Louisiana, are a reminder that Mother Nature is undefeatable. Realizing that Labor Day is in the middle of prime storm season, it is hard not to recall the hurricanes that have been part of my life since childhood.

It's a Crowded Scenic 98 Coastal Deserted Island
You are all alone for the rest of your life, stuck on a deserted island, and you could only have one musical artist (or band) to listen to. Who’s it going to be? What goes into the thought process? Are you happy with your selection?
Day Trippin'
Manatees, Scallops, and the Forgotten Coast
Bucket list items, a quick getaway, and time with friends were the motivations for a 4 day/3-night trip through the Big Bend area of Florida’s Forgotten Coast. I had been to Apalachicola a few times, but I had always wanted to explore the area further South. A seven-hour drive, Crystal River was our destination to swim with Manatees and dive for bay scallops.

When Inspiration Meets Passion: Fontaine Radcliff Howard
Inspiration comes from many places. We are often inspired by people’s stories, places we visit, or experiences we have. Inspiration provides the drive to take action. Passion, on the other hand, is a different level of inspiration. It grows in our heart into something unstoppable. Passion is a strong and often uncontrollable emotion.

On A Desert Island: What Music Are You Taking?
Music is a universal language. It brings people together in mysterious ways. Linda and I watched the documentary on Ed Sullivan the other night. It was excellent! In our youth, we gathered around the television on Sunday nights, knowing we would be entertained and introduced to new musicians and bands that would soon take the world by storm.

Parrotheads Unite: A Tribute to Jimmy Buffett is coming to Mobile!
Kudos to Karen Poth, the Executive Director of Mobile’s National Maritime Museum of the Gulf. She is setting a new course, overseeing the museum's transformation to include two new, extraordinary, groundbreaking educational exhibits. Linda and I recently visited with Karen to see what’s in store.

Skip Jones: An Old Salt in Fairhope
If you’ve ever attended a civic function on the Eastern Shore, you’ve probably run into Skip Jones. He may be the most civic-minded man I know. His interests run wide and deep. He is also an ‘Old Salt’, an endearing term for someone who knows their way around the waterfront.
