hey chuck...wondered where you've been... and i've missed seeing your
wife's photos too. trust all is well in that bizarre land known as
texas. *btw...just received an e-mail from the kinky kampaign...he's now
a democrat and running for something in 2010.

Jeff,

Thanks for the good wishes. Hope all is well in your little slice
of heaven.

I''m still around. I read ROFF almost daily, but haven't felt the
need to jump into the middle of beancounters, Richard's daily pursuit
of something/*any*thing he can find to complain about re Obama, Mike
Connor and his handpuppets, etc.

I haven't fished at all since my trip to Italy last year. The
drought has really hit the streams that I normally fish, and I can't
really justify stressing the fish anymore than they already are being
stressed. I hope to remedy my lack of fishing by hitting the GSMNP/
Elkmont in early May. The plan is to do another week roughing it just
like the last time I saw you. :-)

Carol's gallery is still going, but it's been hit hard by the
economy, too. She's considering closing when her lease is up in
August.

And yes, the Kinkster is running for governater as a Democrat. It
will be hilarious to see him go up against Rick "Hairboy" Perry. I
can't imagine a greater contrast between candidates. And I truly
believe that Kinky has a chance, given how fed up people are with
Perry (and the fact that Kinky is on a major party ticket should
help).


Chuck Vance (still alive and well)
