Hi,

I just got home, actually 2 hours ago. Mom mentioned the blog, so I had to look and see if I was invited . I love what Mom die to the walls. It looks really great! The Packer game was great. I was happy for the pussycats, but was disapoointed that it didn't happen a week earlier.

I am staying home for about a week before my next trip. I am going to California for the blessing of Caleb. I am hoping tha Megan and Ryan will put up with me for a day or 2 also. I haven't talked to them about my specific plans yet, but plan on it tomorrow night.

In November I am going to attend a rod building class to build a new flyrod. I am planning on trying it out next June on the Nushagak river (Dillingham). President Logan, Mark Clyde, Gregg Lund and I are planning on afishing trip to play with the kings. I understand that the king run numbers are along the lines of the pink run in Valdez. This year 11,860 kings went throught he counter on one day. We have been talking about it whenever we see each other. President Logan called as I was walking out of the airport today to ask if I wanted to float the Kenai on Friday, and then started talking about an article he got about the Nushagak.

Looking back to July, I sure was fantastic getting together. It means a lot to me to have all of you in our family. People at the office, and others who access my computer when I have net meetings, always go on about you all.

Love you guys.
