OHHHH YAAAAAA, we’re back friends! Sorry for the hiatus, we were stuck in hibernation mode and well our bosses were on us like a smallie on a top water. But, we are back and back for good. A lot has happened since last fall. So, instead of catching you up, we’re just gonna dive right…
A fishing partner is a good find. A good fishing partner is hard to come by. A real good fishing partner is rare. You may think you know you’re friends and family. But, it isn’t until you are stranded in the wilderness with a tornado at your back or a bear at the point or…
Not everyone can recognize a good thing when they have it in their hands. They don’t realize something was special until they’ve lost it. And lost it for good. Like your near perfect girlfriend storming out of the apartment after she has maxed out all your credit cards and “maybe” flirted with your best friend…
It’s 10 am. Your shaded eyes are open as the warming sun lights up your face and glistening arms, lining the water surface with sparkling dotted reflections and the tree tops with a golden coating .

Settle for the last donut that’s stale and smudged multi colored because all the other donuts have rubbed up against it being pulled out of…
No man really wants to have daughters. If they say they do then they were born post 1950 and are lying. They’re lying because their wives are listening and they still want to have sex once in a while without having to watch “Pride and Prejudice” for the 10th time while simultaneously assuring them that their…
Do you get easily distracted by shiny objects? When at a 4 star restaurant, does the resplendency of the metallic plated utensil that we so simply call a spoon remind you of a spinner bait? Do your girlfriend’s dangly earrings send you into a frenzy of tying nostalgia as you envy her ability to adorn…
Preference is inevitable. Chocolate or Vanilla? Cubs or Sox? Star Trek or Star Wars? Beatles or Stones? Ketchup or mustard? Fly or Cast? Bass or Trout? You can’t love both. You can LIKE both. But, one will always sit a bit higher than the other on the podium. How exactly do we best explain this?…
