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........

Congrats Dave,
Wishing you all the best in your new home.
