Biography & Thoughts

Writing, (freelance),hmmm....fly fishing,tying, perhaps? Dog breeding, training.MORE fly fishing and tying.Almost anything, "outdoors". NOT into TV sports, and/or, professional sports,(either-discussing, watching, etc.)."Golf, is a fine walk, spoiled" is a true belief of mine.
Ranching, (it's what I own, one of) and just "who knows, what all"??
