only two months. still unsure who'll be showing up. other than me, makela
and roger(?), doesn't sound like many distance travelers will be in the
area. small crowds seem to be the deal this year...not many traveling to
penns either. i'm gonna miss the regulars out west, especially my good
friend and fellow traveler, ij. but, each year is a new adventure. warren
promises some interesting hikes into new areas, and since he won't be
burdened with the gink boat duties this year, i'm looking forward to
spending more time on the water with him and learning a bit more about the
great mystery.

fellers, this life squirms away too fast...best get you a handful of it
every chance you get.

goddammit, jeff, not only do I have to sit here and look at your damned
pictures of one of the prettiest trout streams outside Graham, Clay, Macon,
Swain, and Cherokee counties, but I've got to hear about Montana too. ****,
****, and hell.

SWMBO owes me BIG time (she had a most effective way of convincing me to
turn down a trip to Chile), so I figger I have a pretty good supply of guilt
chips socked away. Hope I can cash some of them in.
