Hey Sean,
Great to hear from you, friend. The only problem with those pictures is that you're not in 'em.
I think it's great that you're sensitive to your wife's feelings. That's not PW'd, that's smart. If she's equally sensitive to yours, do you think she'd mind if you had your own friends and interests?
This weekend, Dave, Randy, Stephen, and I will be up in the foothills North of Darrington, stalking Dollies and Rainbows. I'll post those pics too, but it reminds me, you seem to live right smack in the middle of some great flyfishing country. The kind of rivers I only get to see in the Orvis catalog. Have you ever gone out and dipped a line? Fly casting in a scenic spot is a great meditation, even when they're not biting.
Steve
