i've been on a bit of a break in hawaii - during our recent trip - my son, Jones George Baffa decided to grace us with his presence about 8 weeks early. not exactly how i expected to spend my time in hawaii. the entire staff at kapiolani medical center has been unbelievable, my wife linda and i can't thank them enough for their kind support. i am so proud of linda's strength in what have not been ideal times and i am so incredibly thankful to all the wonderful family, friends and friends of friends who've offered their kind support and true aloha. aloha is a word that gets thrown around a lot in hawaii these days but let me tell you, true aloha is a wonderful thing. we feel so blessed for the support and JGB is doing great. we hope to take him home soon. although i will miss waikiki sessions on the 11-footer!
mahalo nui. - jb
