Spotted in Monaco
Couple of new IIM T-shirt pics in from pro beach volleyball player Saralyn Smith, also known as Sister of Cale In The Keys.

Real Estate in Key West
Another report from the front lines in Key West real estate. Here’s the latest version of Jim Smith’s newsletter, which shows how Zillow’s data on Keys real estate is often just, well, bad.

I was feeling pretty smug about my tarpon pictures until Pat Ford sent around some of his own from a recent fly fishing trip. Yeah. I’ll stick to investing.
Geek versus Tarpon

Here’s a video of the above, another of the tarpon leaping, and Ted where he’s most at home. Also, from the bow of Ted’s skiff, running through the mangroves. Ted’s […]
