Snake,
I know my dad. Be on the lookout for a guy asking for water massage
therapy. By the way, I hope you're wearing more than just the vest.
His heart can't handle the stress (then again, I could say that for most
of us here).

Dad,
I see you've finally figured out the "Candy, little girl?" line just
doesn't cut it any more. In all seriousness, great gesture. Good on
ya. Now we just have to teach you to catch trout.

One of my favorites. It always made me tear up when it played during
the PBS "Civil War" series. (I.e. the War of Northern Agression to you
fitons). I also cried when the film came to the subject of Lincoln's
assassination.

Who was very surprised that he'd give a hoot (much less, shed a tear)
over any Republican's demise.

Well **** son, I have to keep up my rep as a babe magnet, besides, that
water therapy ain't half bad. :-)

As to the "candy, little girl" routine, I haven't used that in, oh, say,
6 months or so...the older you get, the more it costs. ;-) Besides,
here's a gal just dyin' to get into flyfishing and I had to stop the
Chambana Drum and Bugle Corps from drumming her outta roff. Supposing she
wound up in rec.outdoors.fishing.bubba.crankandwind....a fate she doesn't
deserve. I expect good karma to come of this, maybe in catching the
biggest smallie of my life, if not that, maybe she'll invite me to a
bluegrass festival where she is starring.

Good on ya, Frank, but I notice you sent along a KPOS, no sense
wasting a good rod on a newbie, eh ? ;-)

Perhaps from tawdry beginnings something decent will grow, you
never know. But I still can't help wondering what the hell she's
doing here in the first place. (Aside to Daisy Mae, you might
want to hold off requesting "official" status until you actually
USE the fly rod and vest instead of just admiring them in the
mirror. ;-)

Well done, Frank.

Welcome to the ranks, Snakefiddler. Wear your neophyte status proudly.

Ashokan Farewell? Lovely little piece written for contra dancers by Jay
Unger, formerly of Cat Mother and the All Night Newsboys. My favorite
reading of this resides on Common Chord, with David Grisman, mandolin,
Daniel Kobialka, violin, and Jerry Gacia, guitar.

several others, so it looks like was a matter of majority rule, ken. and
i'm glad i did. as a result i have had the good fortune to get to know some
fine folks, and learn a little somethin about fly fishing. god, i love it
when the democratic process works! g
