Back again.

OK I just wrote a whole thing and it got lost. Long story short, back from Manitoba, got eaten by mosquitoes, black flies, and no-see-ums, but the fishing was good. Leah's on board for the Japan trip. Anyone else who wants to go, please contact me- friends and family members- we're trying to to get middle aged and seniors involved, too. Not enough programs for older folks, broadening horizons isn't just for the young.

Had a great time up in the great white but I sure appreciate more when it's great green. The lake of the cormorants gave us a lot of pike this year.
