Folks,

Another noticeable chill in the air here this morning. A full sun is rising above the eastern trees and were it not for the 13 mph wind the sting of the chill would be lass. All in all it should be a lovely winters day.

Dux:

You were probably wise in refraining from posting one of those somewhat ribald New England based limericks, particularly since MG is no longer the one peeping over our shoulders with his seldom used censorship stamp poised and ready. I guess that chore has been replaced with software today anyway.

My teen grandson "T" sends his regards. An avid fisherman himself and a dab hand with a rod himself, he can't help being envious of your easy year 'round access to the bounties of the sea. He is in the garage daily inventorying, organizing and cleaning his extensive collection of fishing tackle. He does not wish to miss a single day of the spring fishing season. Of course I told him the truth of how you actually caught that beautiful flatfish.

I told him you were probably on your way home from the pub and fell right over the sea wall into the surf. When you managed to crawl out safely upon dry land again you noticed an unusual fluttering within your soggy shirt. Coughing and sputtering up a gallon of seawater in the process, you were eventually able to discover that the cause of all the fluttering was not your heart at all but rather a beautiful flounder. Well done you.

Jens:

A 'Sinkiang Willow Warbler' was recently seen on that historic Danish island you say? I have no idea what that bird might look like, however, if my suggestion for how Dux really caught that lovely fish is actually true then anyone witnessing the event probably saw a 'Sinking Wallowing Warbler' on that day. OK, like my grandson, I'm just jealous of his catch and even more so of the delicious meal he no doubt enjoyed.
