A River Runs Through It is wonderful writing and a great film. Part of the reason it resonates with most remains we all love people we may not ever understand. I just finished a biography of MacLean and he was a fierce critic of even those close to him. I suspect writing really well puts you in...

Got my son's reflux and vomiting under control after a progressively worse spring, summer and fall. Big, big win for our household.

Years ago I was fishing with my young sons on this particular stretch of river with a single barbless rooster tail within the bounds of this state's fishing laws for this particular river. I hooked a decent fish, gave the spin rod to my boy, who must have been about 8 or so at that time, and he...

Tuna season ends and he often chills for a while, assuming the same is going on... Hopefully Ive made it down south, but yes, he too has been absent for a while

"Don't take up golf. Any researcher who does... becomes a 'thank-God-it's Friday scientist, always fighting not to fall too embarrassingly behind those peers who have sensibly chosen the less Zen but more aerobic thrill of hitting tennis balls" James Watson, 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology or...

reminds me a show my brother in law's high school band "Kyrplex" played at Quincy, MA downtown finishing line for a Breast Cancer 10k fundraiser back in 1996 or so. They were 15 at that time and the band was basically a cross between aerosmith and some kind of screamcore with sorta entry level...

Steven King has a nice eulogy in today's New York Times, it's behind a paywall but basically led me to this... Reiner directed Misery.... for a while "Mister Man!" was thrown around in our house as a dumb joke between me and my wife... Kathy Bates just plain owns this....

My buddy joined the Seattle Elks, Drinking a rainier tall boy on the beach bar at Shilshole on a fine summer evening was pretty damn good, add in a burger and chips, put your ticket in for the wine raffle....

Evan this would be great... I adapted strength training years ago to help get kayaks on and off the roof of the car, let alone paddle. I wanted a back that wouldn't give out and trained for the weight of the Kayaks and the movements to get them up and down safely. Balance and endurance efforts...

Chet probably had a BMI back in sophomore year right around 31. These days he'd be lost in the crowd, at least until the crowd forms a circle around him, chanting his name, Chet Morton, while he polishes off a large cheese pizza and a couple of ice-cold colas. All the kids are filming him on...

Brian between you finding the stolen mail and numerous tubes of abandoned lukewarm meat (let alone the ripped pillow toy, the ducks unlimited bucket, the mysteriously shrunken one-armed cosmonaut, the perfumed swimmer and so on) you pretty much have plot elements for a new Hardy Boys mystery...

Foster-Wallace's stuff is often outstanding. Agree that a lot of Infinite Jest was absolutely prescient, some of it laugh-out-loud funny, other parts hideous men cringeworthy. His breadth of understanding neurological and psychological states- despite having no formal training in those fields-...

So good to hear this Jerry, stamina will come, keep at it!

Some old timer would probably reminisce about the days you could have walked dry-shod from one shore to the other on the backs of the orange beasts Hoping folks are dry and safe...

the first time you eat perfectly cooked butterfish....

No one particular fish, just fun perfect summer day with son hooking pinks from the tandem kayak. Watching him get into it, cast, hook his own etc

I have no fish finder but know of one place where these two species very frequently feed. It's an area about the size of a couple football fields... likely a sandy bottom and tends to be where currents mix. Tiny fish often are reliably schooled up at the surface, presumably what the Auklets (and...

Whale 1: Waaaaaaazuuuuup Whale 2: Whaaaaaazuuuuuup! Whale 3: Waaaaazuuuuuuuuuuuup.....

It's an ash cloud, Matt's still down by the concrete plants, trying to snag pinks:LOL:...ends up getting a SRC but misses out on some classic surface topwater disarticulated pumpkin action....

A few weeks from now Vashon sometimes cranks out pretty respectable resident coho fishing, though, frankly, easier from a boat/kayak than from shore, the timing is iffy though in general better than SRC fishing IMHO. Generally the more miserable the weather the better for that kind of fishing...
