We’ve been running in a bunch of directions lately.  From fishing, to weddings, to work, to kids there has been a ton going on with us in the last month or so.  We really do need to do a better job of keep everyone updated.  I will start here by listing a couple things and then do a few more over  the next few days.

A few weeks ago I went fishing with Grant and a Chris.  We headed to the Meremac River by Cuba, MO.  Grant and Chris were fly fishing but I don’t have any fly gear, so I was using my reel.  We walked in the river and caught a several fish a piece, nothing to take home, but we were getting hits.  On the way back up the river I finally snagged a worthy catch.on ice This was very tasty after I grilled him up with some butter, lemon and Cajun seasoning.  This was also the first time I have ever cleaned a fish.  It went pretty well thanks to Kristie’s dad Phil.Mmmm.... The end result was well worth the effort and I’m still ahead on my goal of fishing more than I golf this year.

Also, while on this trip, Caleb called me to tell me some knock-knock jokes.  He has a whole routine and he is very funny.  My favorite is the Owl joke.  It goes like this:

Knock, Knock

Who’s there?

Who

Who, who?

Is there an owl in here?

This joke, told by a 3.5 year old is very funny, especially over the phone.
