only to reappear days later in the Caribbean…

It was he who taught Castro how to smoke a cigar,
though he doesn’t smoke himself.
He nick-named his favorite fly rod the “Jolly Roger”.
I dare you to find that funny.
He is… the most [...]
Most Interesting Fridays…
Wow, is it friday again? Been slacking, I guess, but the calendar says it’s time again for something interesting.

All he ever has to say is, “Fish, right there”
and his clients know exactly what he means.
