We closed on the new home on Jan 11, and are finally settled in. *We
are very happy with everything so far. *The neighbors are super - had
us over for champagne our first night, and then the few neighbors that
are here had a welcoming dinner on our first week-end. *There is a part
timer (lives most of the time in Alabama) who lives two doors down and
is supposed to be an avid flyfisher. *Can hardly wait to meet him.

Relatives visited us this past week-end, with more due on Friday of
this week. *Even Mildred (remember Mildred all of you at Fortenberry's
NC Clave?) will visit on the week-end of the 5th. *I was engaged to
Mildred 50 years ago. *She lives in nearby Franklin, NC.

With a booze locker that was totally empty (the house has a wet bar), I
sprung for some hard stuff today and treated myself to a bottle of 15
yo McCallan Single Malt. *I am sipping as I type. *I had forgotten how
smooth it is. *There is see-through stuff for the boy lawyer (good
stuff, not that crap he normally drinks), and a small insufficient
supply of Yuengling for Jeffie. *A couple of bottles of bourbon for
those so inclined, some tequila for all you crazy *******s, and some
rum for you Cuba Libre types. *Hell, there's even a bottle of that
there Frenchy stuff Grand Marneaire for Richard.

I was supposed to go fishing this past Saturday, *even though we had
house guests, but the weather was just too wet. *Both Saturday and
Sunday saw heavy rains and some thunder storms. *Sort of neat watching
it all come in from the western mountains. *Many of the streams here
are like Penns - if it rains, they muddy up pretty quickly. *(No
offense meant, Tom.)

I checked out Dukes Creek yesterday, and will probably fish it this
Wednesday. *Water looked good inspite of all the rain.

Now back to your regular programing........
