It was so good to talk w/ you the other day. I'd like to do that more often, my friend as we find ourselves in similar boats on a very similar stream... and both of us w/out oars, it seems.
I'm off for the weekend w/ my D and my family in Lake Tahoe, so I'll check back w/ you when I return.
Talk to you soon, buddy.
Keep going on and I too love the "life begins now" statement.
