About the RAIN.


So we have had a few days of some pretty serious rain up here in NH this week. Rain is fine... it can be a welcome respite from a dozen 95 degree days in a row. I think so anyway. But not everyone shares my opinion on this.




In case you are not getting the full effect allow me to enlarge...



Yuck. Isn't that sort of what you think and feel when you look at that picture? Just... Yuck. Now try imagining that you have to let that creature in your house. In your very small, nearly impossible to keep clean and dry Airstream Trailer. Yeah. Yuck. They don't seem to make compact cleaning devices capable of handling wet, dirty Schweenie. You just have to sort of mop up as best you can and be willing to find bits of wet debris on your pillow or perhaps even in your coffee cup. It gets in places you can't imagine. When I say "it" please refer to the photo above for an idea of what "it" is I am speaking of. It's inescapable.

Anyway... Billy took a fly fishing course this past weekend and has been tearing up the scene with all manner of tiny lures with names like "Black Woolly Bugger" and the ever popular "All Purpose Caddis." He's out fishing from the kayak in the mouth of the river as I write this and has vowed not to come back until he has landed "a big one." I will be sure to let you all know what the results are.

Dude! You have an add for a Christian dating service on your blog. Was this a sign meant for me? And Gordon??!! As for the hot pink toilet, I'm thinking Craig would see that as a MUCH welcome addition to my apartment.

So, did Billy land the big one, or is he still out on the boat? Inquiring minds want to know :)

Well Stef... I am afraid I have no exciting news to report from our fishing boy. He has come back time and again empty handed. Although he and Mark have claimed to have "purged all their demons" through the act of fly fishing. I guess demon purging is just as acceptable as a 6 pound trout.
