Reminiscence

That is ineffably sad. The key to a happy, graceful old age, I believe,
is to stay young at heart, to cultivate young friends and to listen to
them with respect, attention, and true affection, and never to loose
that surprise and excitement for the tug on the line.

Well said. I recently spent a week cooking for 47 high school kids at a camp.
My body ached at the end of the 10 hour work day, but my mind and spirit felt
like I was 16 again. It was great, especially when I pulled out my 5 weight
and caught bluegills and small mouths off the dock while the kids gathered
around to study this strange way to catch fish. (Thanks, Big Dale.)

I hope you didn't wear your traditional "cooking breakfast at Clave" garb!

Hope some of the kids got to play with the little green fish as well. I have
been listening to the rain this morning as I am tying a several dozen yellow
foam spiders for one of the guys in our flyfishing club to use while
introducing a bunch of boy scouts to the fun of flyfishing in one of his
classes.
