Gee Crafty, I'm impressed. We don't get literary references on the message boards very often.
Thanks, Joe - but all evidence to the contrary notwithstanding, I'm actually literate. Even taught humanities at a university - I don't tell many people that, I don't wanna ruin my image......I still find it funny for a kid who grew up on the wharves of Newport when the people there actually worked hard for a living and drove late '40's pick-ups instead of Beemers and 500's and the effluvia was more wooden bait barrel than haute cuisine.

Sometimes when I write snippets pop up - like obscure pieces of music - and I forget where I get them from at times.

Willa Cather......boy, I have no where that tidbit might have come from in the Crafty subconcious...

So, yeah, I'm an ex-English department owl...sans rumpled tweed jacket and pipe.

BTW, real nice hoodies, gotta get one for Spring schoolie-wear...

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
