I can’t tell you what I had for dinner night before last, but I remember that tarpon vividly. Read More

There’s a lot of cynicism these days about politics and politicians, much of it justified, and I won’t try to tackle that thorny issue in this blog. Instead, I want to tell you about a positive experience I had recently in Washington, D.C.I got invited to attend the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation fundraising dinner in Washington a few weeks back, and was pleased to meet a group of senators and congressmen who share a love of the outdoors and are working had to preserve our American heritage of hunting, fishing, trapping and shooting.
