Two Hammers

I do not get phone calls from my brother anymore.  He is either out fly fishing or getting his gear ready to go - or, occasionally trying to salvage his fading career.  I do get an occassional e-mail from him, penned late at night or during a storm shower.  The last e-mail which I recieved was a lengthy 3 pager itemizing all of his latest acquisitions from Cabela’s.

A new 3 wt. medium fast action 7 foot rod, reel with extra spool, floating and sinking tip lines, waders, etc.  Good job jump starting the economy brother.  I will hire some additional help in anticipation of the trickle down effect.

Every weekend brother dearest is out fly fishing, by mid week the only thing on his mind is going fishing again.  His yard is over grown, the dog is starving, his life is in shambles, and he tweaks when he talks.  Next year for Christmas I think that I will just get him a good book.
