Ed called it a fool’s errand and me a dumbass for even considering it. “It” was wandering willfully into a debate that really didn’t concern me directly several years ago. Doing so produced a surprisingly robust amount of heartburn and gave Ed several years worth of “I told you so…”, “Remember the time…” and “Don’t [...]

Bonefish and Tarpon Trust is raffling off a donated Orvis Mirage IV reel; just happened to be cruising by an Orvis store yesterday and popped in to grab a pic of one.

Tomorrow Mark and I are hitting the road and headed to Oklahoma. I have one week left before a new day job starts and we have other business to attend to. We thought hard about a quick dash up to Montana, but in the end decided it would be better for business to stick to [...]
