Happy Birthday Salem!
My eldest Son has a birthday today! It has been just a blink since the day that I cut that umbilical cord and welcomed him into the world. Happy birthday Salem! Be well, be wary, be wise, and be safe.

Louise surprised me with a fantastic birthday extended weekend in Watercolor Florida. We stayed at the Water Color Inn. Friday and Saturday brought fly fishing on local inter-coastal estuaries where Lazarus and I caught many spotted sea trout.

We decided to hike through the woods. With my… Read More
