I'm not depressed, but I'm bored. I always get bored in California.
Stanley, Idaho is a far more interesting place to live, even in the
winter. I suspect that the large majority of people wouldn't feel that
way, but I do.

I can't say I've been fished out since my Alaska adventure this past July,
but I do miss it, so we booked another trip back there for '07.
Where in Menlo Park? I work at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center off
Sand Hill Rd.

I live in the Willows neighborhood, just north of the Palo Alto border
at San Francisquito Creek and east of Middlefield Road. I know where
SLAC is, of course.

If you get too bored, we can share some casting techniques, I'm probably not
too far away.
I may also head up to the Trinity for the Steelhead run, during the Xmas
shutdown....the fishing's been good up there from my connections.

I afraid I don't have all my flyfishing gear along, aside from a couple
of sal****er rigs for Mexico. I could conceivably join you at the
Trinity if I could borrow a pair of waders and boots. I've never really
had good fishing in California, so I tend to avoid it.

If you want to get together for sushi I'm game.
