I started tyiing right after Labor day weekend. My wife had a family reunion in OK. We made our 'out of the way' jaunt to Bass Pro and I bought a beginners kit with a Lefty Kreigh DVD. Thought the DVD was good, but the vise in the kit is junk (Made in India). Lefty was not too technical and relieved a lot of fears right off the bat. Am writing a letter to BP about the vise though.

Being a Cardinal fan (lifelong), it was very difficult to dress hooks and keep one eye on the games. From Mid-August to the end of the World Series every day was "their last chance". It was fun to be a part of, but after the series was over I was honestly tired of baseball. But, when February rolls around I will be chompin' at the bit for more. I normally don't watch much, but listen as much as I can while gardening, mowing, driving etc.
