Granddaughter Chloe and Gabby. Not sure who is smiling the best…Chloe says if we find Gabby missing after she and my daughter Nikki and family return to Ohio this weekend, Gabby is a Buckeye.

The boys, Arnold and Evan and Dad Brian caught Mahi, porgies, blue runners and lots of Bonita today. Sunburn all around. Quick trip to the edge of the Gulf Stream and back by early afternoon before storms.

Was a good day For family. Wife Marie was recuperating from dialysis…but she enjoyed home time with everyone.

Chloe 13…Gabby 6 I think…have to ask Christal Mims. She has Gabby brother…

Part of the Cleveland Clinic Weston Kidney Transplant process is an online Teams meeting.

O Positive. That's the magic blood type Marie needs for a living organ transplant.

However, if you wish to donate a kidney and are NOT O Positive, you can still be screened and if you are accepted as a donor, my dear wife will be matched sooner with a donor that matches. And you will be helping another person who needs a transplant at the same time.

You can message me...

I'm rooting for Sierra Leone in the Kentucky Derby because of the Indiantown, Florida connection. The new owners of Payton Park thoroughbred training facilities is none other than...wait for it...Peter Brant. AND Brant is one of the owners of Sierra Leone. Go Figure. Martin County, Florida and our neighbors in Indiantown could be sitting on top of the world if Sierra Leone wins today's Kentucky Derby. Sort of makes you wonder where the "local" news coverage is these days. Ok, that's why The Florida Business Forum and Your Favorite Anchorman are doing things differently. Stay tuned.
