One brother’s admiration

I’m lucky to have the friends I am close to. They keep me humble and grounded.

I’m blessed to have the family I have.

They are always there and are constant reminders that I belong to something greater. My brother in particular is the best brother in the world as far as I am concerned. I am truly proud to be his brother. Since the day I was made an uncle by him and his wife, I couldn’t wait for this particular day to arrive, Guy Weekend. It was time to introduce my nephew Joe (who is 4 years old) to the world of trout fishing. I know my father was hauling my brother and I around on fishing trips when we were Joe’s age and we both turned out just fine, so nothing wrong with getting Joe started early.

So with a truck load of groceries and fishing gear, we headed up to the cabin for a weekend of burger grilling, Chocolate Yahoo drinking and trout fishing fun.





There is no better job than being an uncle. And to think that in a couple of years I get to do it again with Joe’s younger brother Jack.



There is also no greater joy than watching the fire being lit in the next generation of trout fishermen.
