When he *was* drinking? When was he *not* drinking?

Ralph took the pledge a few years ago after an incident one New Year's
eve where he verbally attacked some people at a local shelter. He was
under the influence at the time, and as a result, apologized publically
and gave up drinking.

Yeah, I probably should have included a smiley there, as I remember
the incident. IIRC, he admitted he had a problem, but didn't feel the
need to seek professional help.

So does it appear that he's sober these days? Or is it hard to
tell? :-)

BTW, sorry I didn't get a chance to get together with you on my
trip. Unfortunately, I basically went fishing on very short notice in
between sightseeing and visits with SWMBO's family and friends.

I understand, it would have been fun to get together, but timelines are
always short. Next time.

Will do. Maybe you can show me all the *really* good spots. ;-)
Though I must say, I got enough action on dries (well, actually on a #16
parachute Adams) to feel like my outings were a success. Who knows what
I might have done if I had tried nymphing. ;-)

Yeah, pretty much. He is happy the province is now debt-free, and is
looking at eliminating helth care premiums for seniors now. They still
have a ways to go to restore services to earlier levels.

Went to a few good spots today. Caught a lot of cutts, some of pretty
substantial size.
