Yuletide, & I’ve been trying to get this written, but my
Norwegian Christmas Nut wife is going at it with pagan intensity, the baked
goods are hitting the table, & I’m on it, but she has the vibe in the house
so abustle the atmosphere is jangling & ding-donging to distraction.
I’m wading through.

And memories. Thinking
back on this past season & all the great people I had the pleasure to fish
with. And all the friends I’ve met through Soft~Hackle Journal. Talented &
engaged anglers who recognize & love what is truly valuable in our game. It
is compatriots, & the memories they create, that enrich a life & make
importance. Don’t want to forget any of you.

So I’m on a new regime:
Greasing the Muse
Getting forgetful? Do you find yourself facing a new year
with faculties not quite what they were last year? Muse leaving you dry?
Maybe it’s time to apply some lubricant.
Recent dietary research claims a breakthrough: Three
tablespoons of raw coconut oil per day, taken by mouth, will serve to improve
brain function and keep synapses snappy. Squirting freely. Not only that, but
the same dose is said to offset or actually reverse the affects of senile
dementia. That’s right, REVERSE. (Bill, Mark, Jeff, Jack… you reading?)
Coconut oil. Simple as that. Three tablespoons a day and the
creative/perceptive center of your brain swings open like a barn door.
The
suggested
cure,
alone,
inspires
poetry.
Worth a try. If nothing else your hair and skin will improve
and you’ll poop better.
You’re gonna love this. Bought a gallon last week. I figure
another week on the coconut oil & my keyboard should be shooting – click, click,
click-click-click, clickety click – like a vaselined machine gun.
