The pretty child's pic reminds me of that famous quote from Carl Sandburg ... "A baby is God's opinion that the world should go on."

But now let me say ... (having turned 80 near the end of last year) ... it has been a hard winter! Normally, I would have gotten the canoe out and have since wet a fly line, but not so to date. I gots to have some serious sunshine on my backside before I even begin to get the gear out.
