Blog Entry 28 of 31 The Caffiend

I love coffee. That pretty much is all anyone really needs to know about me. I am a caffeine fiend - or a caffiend, a word I concocted about two minutes ago. I have a hot cup of Seattle's Best 6th Avenue Bistro sitting in front of me right now. I don't know a lot about coffee, but I can grind it and make it and drink it like it's going out of style. I usually have a cup of coffee in my hand. I suppose my character and personality do surge deeper than the 10-cup level. I dig fine art. I love to paint and draw. I like to sit in my living room and play the guitar (and drink coffee) on Saturday mornings. Hanging out with my wife Elise and daughter Laurel...those times are the best. I love fly-fishing, stepping into a clear stream and setting the day-to-day grind adrift. And I can sit and stare out the window at the mountains for a really long time. Elise says I'm "watching out." I think it's my way of meditating. Or maybe it's caffeine overdose.

My longtime friends Rick Hahn, Bill Milligan and I took our annual springtime fishing trip to Spinney Mountain Reservoir on Sunday.
It was good for lots of "redneck" humor and plenty of tall stories. We even managed to catch a few fish. Returned them all to the water alive and in pretty good shape - and slightly humiliated, I'm sure, having been caught by the likes of us.
I've known Rick and and Bill since the fourth grade (that would be 1969, a great, great year) at Calhan Elementary. We've fished Spinney for years, caught a lot of fish and we've been skunked plenty of times. These guysare real fishing buddies.
The possession limit at Spinney is one fish of 20 inches or more. Bill caughta nice rainbowthat measured 19 inches, see the picture, but that was our best.
The fly fisherman along the shorelines were really catching a lot of fish. I might go back sometime soon.
I'd love to hear your fishing stories. And send along some photos if you have them.
