I love getting home after an intense fishing trip like this recent one to Cameroon. Even though the trip was fantastic, home sweet home is required to rest up. However, this week home time would be short because I had to return to the show scene. This weekend I was booked to give two days of presentations at the ISE Scotsdale Sportsman’s Expo.
But, on my first day home while sitting at my computer dressed in fleece to stay warm doing email, I learned that while I was in Cameroon the gig cancelled. I’d just got done listening to Granny telling me about all the shoveling she’d been doing while I was gone. So it hit me, who cares if I’m not working, now that I’m not working I’ll take Granny to Phoenix and make it a four day vacation of eating, drinking, a Cubs Spring training game and fly fishing for grass carp. My plane ticket was already paid for by the show. God knows I have enough miles to get Granny a free one. Furthermore we have friends in Phoenix so we could avoid a hotel.
Today we left – out of the cold and into the heat of Arizona and my favorite urban fly fishing venue.
