Melbourne High School 20 year Reunion Class of 1988



I've got this one picture that was taken so far but this was more of a family trip to Florida to visit old friends, family, and see old classmates. Stayed at the Crown Plaza that used to be the old Holiday Inn Melbourne Oceanfront. I remember many a day hanging out as a kid near the pool and went to a couple of Sundek Classics and watched the local pros go at it in small rocky surf which was always so much fun because the whole surf feel was in the air despite the small surf.

I got really lucky on July 12 and 13th and the following Saturday July 19th in getting really really good Hurricane Bertha Swell. Surfed behind the hotel, Jamestown, and 16th Street. Evan rode his first waves on a body board at 3 years old and loved it, Riley really enjoyed messing around on BeBe's pink longboard and enjoyed splashing through the waves with mommy. Scoring waves in Florida in July was a total treat. they had nothing prior to that all summer and it's been pretty small each day after that so I was there the perfect week for surf. The Friday before we left I went to the Satellite High School Class of 88 reunion at Doubles Hoagies and that was really cool to see a few guys I'm friends with there and some people I haven't seen since Jr. High.

John Mayer Show at Cricket Ampitheater


Took my wife to this show for our wedding anniversary. I wasn't too excited about it. I like his music, but never really liked it too much. Kinda lumped him into the Jack Johnson or Dave Mathews genre which is really good but not stuff I get really into. A woman named Colbie Caillat opened 2nd and she was pretty solid. Never heard of her but very talented. John Mayer's band has a lot of depth in musical ability. I was most impressed by his ability to write and orchestrate his own music but his blues riffs and guitar playing ability was incredible. I was definitely shocked and impressed at his obvious blues roots influences. Very good concert, at a great venue.
