Dr. Mylroie, infamous beach bum.

I was searching for things about Dr. Mylroie's (my future graduate advisor) research and came across this:
"It's easy to envy a colleague who has made a career out of lounging around tropical beaches. Dr. John Mylroie has done just that--specializing in karst systems and fresh-water lens on carbonate islands. He has published widely on such topics as Hydrodynamic behavior of caves formed in the fresh- water lens of carbonate islands; Geology of the Bahamas; and Water-rock interaction ... Geomorphic perspective and island karst. "
There's also a picture: http://www.karstwaters.org/sinkhole/mylroie.jpg
Here's the Caption: Dr. John Mylroie, Island Karstrunner and infamous racontuer.
Ha, that's great.
For those of you who don't know, his son was my best friend growing up in Mississippi, so I know him already. I always remember him being a total goofball and saying he has the best job in the world. I guess other people think so too. :)
Sounds like this is gonna be fun.
