Years ago, I tried to jokingly arrange a marriage between my son and a girl whose prospects were outstanding. I even used Jane Austen style lines like "she has pleasant features, can sing and play the harpsichord, is kind to a fault, and it is universally acknowledged she has near £5000 a year!"...

Kinda wish there was an "Ask DimeBrite" advice column where every response was a full-on in-the-weeds classics reference where you have to slog through some Phoenician/Etruscan/Lesbos/Minoan/Canaanites/Babylonians/Hittites and let's not forget the Carthaginians homework to -maybe- get the...

Probably better man advice is recognizing things that will cause pain and learning and planning ways around or through them. A lack of maintenance causes inevitable pain. I don't know that with a 21-year-old and 24-year-old you have a lot to maintain, as you put it, different stages of life...

Fishing Report: Wasn't expecting much other than a spectacular setting. Still, access was good for a float tube, canoe or kayak and I had some time to kill. I thought mostly of taking some photos, mainly some mirror image mess-arounds. But within three minutes of line out, started getting...

these guys were heading into the sun and I was just messing around taking some sport mode shots, they were way up, later, thought the sun on the cockpit was cool and the ball of blue sky looked weirdly opal

10 years on Orvis Silver Sonics, they are at the end of their life, the elastic is loose, the crotch gets a little moist, the zipper is gummed and the once translucent cell phone holder pocket looks like a monument to yellowed polyurethane. They did great and were way more durable than I was...

Always wanted to paddle this Got the family out Worked the 10-15 foot water, had about 75 minutes, so mostly slow trolling Two on spin (black and gold panther martin) One on fly (small silver surf smolt sort of thing) Mid summer, afternoon, three fish, two, maybe three cutts, one more...

Old pasta and a can of sardines + can oil dumped on top, sprinkle of feta, some black pepper, 1:45 in microwave and eat on the stoop with the last of the morning coffee to wash it down.

Fun morning paddle today

@Mossback (and Terry too, RIP) this dub's for you

SilverFly at "Round the Next Bend" Matt B's North Bend Retirement Home for Aged Fishers ... SF: matt.....Matt......MATT....Goddamn it, MATT B, get your ass over here! (rings small Hector-style bell con impaciencia) MattB: (holding a giant mug of coffee) Yeah, yeah, yeah....SF...
