| Brown Hare's Mask & Plover tied by Steven Bird |
Since the advent of this new
year I’ve been considering some resolutions for 2014. Not many, the list is
short. Actually, quite a bit shorter than it was at the beginning of the month
directly following the hangover resulting from the New Year’s Eve celebration
at Happy Jack’s Tavern. Nonetheless, I’m feeling squared away at this point,
& those things remaining on the list of resolutions might represent the
nuggets left in the pan after the overburden is washed away. Here they are:
1)
Fish the Brown
Hare’s Mask & Plover more often. (Sure, the hackles are rare & difficult to obtain, I have a wing & a portion of hide given to me by Bert Brehm & those hackles are begging to be fished. Well, most of them. Maybe half of them.)
2)
Write better.
3)
Learn people
better.
4)
Wear clean
clothes & look decent.
5)
Let go.
6)
Dance better.
7)
Take better care
of teeth.
8)
Take better
photos.
9)
Stay glad.
Of course I’m reserving the
right to change my mind on any of it. Flexibility is a virtue, after all.
