Still alive

It has been nearly 20 months since I departed without farewell or

So, for the present, I am alive and reasonably well. Tight lines to
you all.

It's about damned time! Welcome back. And no apologies!!

I'll tie you as many Chamois's as you want! Willi's are better though
(although I'm thinking it has something to do with the operator).

He claims that you should stomp them into the mud before tossing them.
Sounds plausible. Personally, I think the trick is to catch one fish and
then use the same worm for the rest of them. :-)

Losing a well broken-in chamois worm really sucks.

I came to this painful decision in May, 2004 following yet another
spring when family pressures overwhelmed my ability to wet a line with
enjoyable regularity. Every outing became a domestic confrontation.
The stress of having an intense desire to fish without a relaxing
opportunity to do so was killing me.

I think this is one of the most troubling things I've read here Joe. I hope
you can find a way to work it out.

In any event, hang in there and welcome back.

Joe Bruce at the Fishermans Edge in Catonsville decided to call it
quits. I didn't hear any details as to why.

....and I'll add to the chorus of "you are missed" Joe. I still remember our
little conclave on the Rappahannock. I remember you as a fine gentleman and
a pleasure to talk with. Right at this moment you probably aren't fishing
any less than most of us. :-( Stick around anyway.

It took me a day to find the pix, but I can't post to abpf from here.
I'll post a few when I get home.

Nice to hear from you again Joe.

It was through this avenue
that Kevin Vang recognized my screen name on rec.boats.paddling and
prompted me to stop in & say howdy.

That's all I really wanted, you know. I didn't ask for a full
confession. (When we want your confession, you will find yourself
on an unmarked airplane headed to an undisclosed location in
Eastern Europe.) Good to hear from you, though.


I apologize

I'd rather be served breakfast in bed by Giada De Laurentiis
tomorrow morning than apologize on roff.

Kevin
