Ah, back from 2 weeks of getting married and honeymoon on Maui…It was a success and my wife and I couldn’t be happier…However, there’s another story that needs to be told.
…About a week before we left for Maui, I came home late from fishing and found a nicely wrapped package on my desk…My wife stood by [...]

Gift from the Midwest…

Sweet, I received a gift in the mail from fellow blogger and all-around good guy GFV who is part of the crew over at Life in the Great Midwest.
Pheasant “Foofaraw” for tying flies!
Gerry and his trusty dog ‘Speck’ harvested some pheasants again this year and have been gracious enough to send me the goods (tailwings [...]

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve tied some flies and I’m definitely behind for the ‘usual’ amount that I tie every year (the ‘little lady’ is crackin’ the whip and wedding planning stuff is killing me)…
Now I finally have an ‘excuse’ for the ‘little lady’ as I conveniently received a ‘fresh batch’ of pheasant tailwings [...]

The whole first year…

Well, I guess I should get another post in this year…
…I’ve been ’somewhat’ busy the past month with the holidays, the work and I’m getting married in May so there’s that “wedding planning thing” that is NOT my idea of a good time (why do women put us guys through this torture?)…I honestly don’t care what [...]

It’s unbelievable to me that it’s Christmas Eve! Between all the snow and the festivities (and the work!!), it completely snuck up on me!
For the first time that I can remember, it looks like we’re headed for a white Christmas in Seattle. It’s been snowing for days, and even though it’s warming up, it probably [...]
Holiday Sweater…

-UPDATED, again. And again.
…The rivers are “whacked” (right now), CFB season is over (for most), the crowded lakes are closed (pffffff) and it’s too damn cold to even bother…No baseball, no fishing, no outdoor activity unless I’m walking the dogs…It’s winter and it sucks…
All I can do is chop firewood, build a fire, tie flies [...]
Holiday Festivities
Posted in Libations, Rando on Sunday, December 14, 2008 | 4 Comments »
Tis the holiday season…and that means festivities and celebrations aplenty!
Things started on Friday with a White Elephant exchange at a friend’s house. I was a little disappointed there wasn’t more ’stealing’ during the gift exchange. And none of the gifts were too bad, although someone did bring a record – – Culture Club. I think that’s going to [...]
I’m thankful for…

The Wednesday before Thanksgiving has become a tradition among some of my friends where we get together to kick off the holiday festivities.
So we headed out to celebrate and have some fun!
Stories about what we’re doing for the holiday and about family traditions are inevitable. The one common theme this year was that all of our families do [...]
