Hey there Mr. Jobs

Dear Mr. Jobs:

I was driving the other day listening to my Ipod Nano in my truck. Cruisin' to the sweet tunes of the new John Mayor CD Continuum (A must have if you like JM). I love my Ipod. I guess it was inevitable that I would get one since I love music so much. I have tons of CDs of all genre of music. I have been a downloading fool by getting all my favorates to my Ipod.

So I was driving and decided to listen to the radio instead. A great song came on the radio (I think it was Maria Maria by Santanna). I cranked it up and thought that I should get that song on my Ipod (so I bought that song for $0.99). It is now alphabatized right along with the great ----ing band ever--Metallica. Fade to Black. Ride that lighting. Damn right...

Sorry, I always go on a tangent when Metallica is blaring. Anyway, I thought of another instant gratification that could be added to this now-now world. Here is my idea:

How about setting up the Ipod to connect to your car/truck so that anytime you heard a song on the radio, you could push a button on your Ipod that would either 1) download that song somehow or 2) make a running list (like Netflix does) in your Ipod so that next time you connected your Ipod to your computer when you got back home, it would automatically update your Ipod with the new songs you want to purchase and add to your Ipod library.

The reason I say this is that a lot of people just don't have a lot of time to keep up with the music they like. They are busy. This way, you could listen to the radio everynow and then and when you heard a new song (or old one) that you liked, you could just press a button and it would be added to your Ipod with next to no thought.

I am not sure about the technical aspects of this, but who cares. I just have the idea. It's up to the nerds with calculators to figure out how to make it happen. Anyway, it would be pretty cool concept that would bring even more $0.99 song buyers to the Ipod superstore of songs. Just a thought Mr. Jobs.

PS. Can I have a cut on the profits? Also, AAPL stock is going to soar over the next few months. $100.00 is right around the corner.

Best catfishin' ever!

Washington DC -- aka-John's back yard -- Delia and I sure had a good time at DC. John, Katrina and little Caleb were great! I got to run a marathon, play with Caleb, visit Keri, Collin and Abe, and best of all...I got to go on the best catfishin' trip ever with John!

We traveled so far (2 blocks I think) to get there. I must say (Dad), that I have officially validated that little smokies do work with catfish!

We caught a total of 8 fish and three of them were over 9 lbs! John led the way with a 12 lb beast (pictured here). Then he caught a 10 lb catfish. I caught one (thankfully!) that was 9 lbs. All in all they were the biggest catfish that John or I had ever caught or seen pulled in the water.

My marathon legs were sore (this was Monday night), but when John hooked that 12 lb beast, I was running around that dock reeling in poles and grabbing the net and climbing down rocks to get it. I even went ankle deep in the water to make sure I got it. You can take me away from the country, but you cannot take the country out of me! Needless to say, John returned the favor when he went ankle deep to net my 9 pounder (pictured here).

We have had some great fishing trips this year. I cannot wait until perhaps next spring when we can all get together and fish. What a great catfishin' night this was! John's back yard...are you kidding me!!! He can get off work and be fishing in 12 minutes he told me! Little smokies are validated!
