    Spaghetti Western

    Wednesday, May 15, 2013

    Is it me or does this pasta look a lot like fly line? While I typically race in a million different directions, I am literally preparing to head in two very opposite directions (both geographically and culturally) as we are traveling west to Montana and then east to Italy…in all of its pastalicious carbohydrate glory.

    And Tomorrow Starts The Same Old Thing Again

    Wednesday, May 1, 2013

    When I was a kid my parents used to host their own Willie Nelson 4th of July Picnic “Satellite” parties in our backyard in Dallas. They were fairly epic.

Why Settle for A Double Entendre When Triple Is Available?

Since my last post was a tad more earthy than I’d intended, I thought I’d adjust the focus in here by superficially throwing out a literature term. Double entendre. I’ve always loved that phrase! It just sounds yummy and rich and layered. So did it work? Is the class feeling focused again? Because today we [...]

Fish Net Stalkings

Or is it fish net stockings? I can see how they came up with the term. My apologies for that mildly awkward photo and unladylike pose. Admittedly there was some chaos in the moment of that grip & grin. Heavy wind, rocks all around, and we were coming up fast on the takeout. But we [...]

What The Hell Are They Eating?

Trying to crack the culinary code of feeding fish is an integral part of this game we all enjoy. Better anglers than I have more knowledge of entomology, and I learn a great deal listening to their suppositions, theories and predictions.
