Not much more I can say, the only thing that surpasses the art is the artist. I live a lucky life, blessed by the friendship of a few very dedicated friends. Bob is one of them. <br />
<br />
Not long ago a piece two years in the making was rejected. It was my Ode to a Friend. That friend was Bob White. A tale of strange circumstances and a grandfather, mine. The combination of which brought me and a trip to Alaska last summer full circle to Bob. <br />
<br />
Recently Mr. White has revamped and rebuilt is web site. Support the man who shows us a life well lived one painting at a time. Check out his new e-digs, buy a print or three. I have a few favorites hanging on my walls. My wife Tara refers to them as "Mini-breaks."When I find myself in a funk or short in the house, Tara will send me to a "mini-break". Think of putting your kids in the corner, but meant as a gentle reminder to a spouse to go get lost in something that brings me back to center. For me, that's Bob's art. <br />

I'm 36 years old as of last week. I've fished all over the globe at this point, caught fish that make my neck hackle stand on end just thinking about. There is one truth I've paid for with my own blood: It's not about the fish you catch, it's not about the animal you stalk and slay, it's not about racks, inches, weight, or score. It is about, and only about, the folks you spend your time with on the journey to accomplish all the previous mentioned. <br />
<br />
A life looked back at, is measured in relationships built, kindled, and kept. Ironically I think there are a lot folks who will read this and interpret in a justified way, although that isn't even close to a northern pointing compass of my intent. But, by all means, if you find comfort in these words and your interpretation: take it. <br />
<br />
Life is how you remember it. I'm going to consciously choose to make memories with people going forward who share a common moral sentiment. Making a new course for myself to invest in people. People willing to spend time with me doing things we have in mutual-common. I love to live Out-of-doors. Anything, that lets me forget the cube farm I spend my life in.Anything that takes me away from corporate BS that has become the loss of where we all found innocents on a dock with bobber, worm, and a hook without strings. <br />
<br />
See, at my age and in new country - once old- I find myself alone again. I don't know anyone to fish with. I have lost connection after a decade to all those who used to fish, hunt, or spend their time not under roof.<br />
<br />
Looking to find comfort in the one place who has accepted a would-be lonely-road bum such as myself, I face rejection. A few quotes from recent, "Sorry not what we're looking for now." After working a piece for two years. Change in the tides. <br />
<br />
Next was, "You need to get used to rejection we all do." Then they went on to how boring the subject was and dont' get why I thought anyone would find interest in it......<br />
<br />
Thing is after five years and a thousand rejections I've grown used to it, not numb to it. <br />
<br />
I will never be a great writer, got that. I will never master our language, got that. I will never take an image that moves anyone other than my mother.. Which is a joke, because I could cure cancer and it will never make her stand up and take notice. I'm used to "all of it". <br />
<br />
Thing is, I don't ask for anyone's acceptance, anyone sympathy, or pity. The one thing I do ask for is see what real life putting it out there tastes like. That is what our contributors do. There isn't anything other than 100% real lifestyle being contributed to our show. <br />
<br />
Maybe that's not enough to get real companies interested in our little walk off the map? I wish it was. The people that give to SID free of charge deserve to be known. They deserve to be paid. They live it. Asking for more is pure gluttony. <br />
<br />
We're not going to run; HOW-To's, What-to's, or Where-to's... it's just not the lifestyle. You can google; "Bugs for the Big Horn" or "How to Tie a Clinch Knot".... I mean come on ... <br />
Also, we're not all guides.. hell I tried I was the worst guide in the planet. I just wanted rip the stick out of my clients hand for two summers and catch the F'N fish. Drove me crazy!<br />
<br />
Owning that, we're not the rag for guys who guide, or guys who weekeend fish, heck we're not the ezine for the guy who fishes, hunts, or lives in doors more than out. <br />
<br />
If it's a lifestyle you get it. Issue One. Issue when passion ends and I can't afford to publish anymore. <br />
<br />
You take issue with that don't click page turn. There is no hiding here. Anything in that message rings true with you; Guess what, "We're you." You are SID and from one dad wishing he was fishing to you, "Thank you."Aaronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14390777186743525608noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2108756071824863296.post-44613803525603738922011-02-16T17:59:00.000-08:002011-02-16T17:59:38.894-08:00Sid 6 in the BAG<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So with SID Six in the bag, turning our sites towards SID 7 (thinking about doing the road trip issue early). </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Would like to highlight my friend Paul and his tying, the whole story of his shaping, sanding, and designing bugs out of foam weren't all in there. I submitted the piece to Fly Tyer, got no response until I posted on Facebook that I didn't get a response. It's too bad the story of the bar and Paul are quite good.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">See back in the 20s the particular bar in this story was shut down and turned into a speak-easy for gangsters spending their summers on White Bear Lake, coming in from Chicago. For those who can manage their way behind the bar and know where to look could find a dumb-waiter behind a hidden pannel allowing Canadian Whisky to be sent between floors outside the view of prying eyes. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">White Bear lake had an amusement park and sprawling mansions built around the lake's shorelines housing some of America's most notorious gangsters; Al Capone, John Dillinger, and Baby Face Nelson. Gangsters and their muscle would come into the back alley doorway separating the then False front Soda Shop from the basement rooms hosting cards games and bottled Whisky (high end whisky of the 20s). </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The lake a block or two away is home to some of Minnesota's largest smallmouth around. This is where our story turns towards Paul Hansen. Paul, isn't just a fly tier with patterns sold commercially throughout the world he's a Foam-shaping, Fly-Molding-Da Vinci. Between his basement workshop filled with custom made tools, shivs, and components to Paul's obsession with shaving new and more extreme angles than anything available he's taken foam tying to a new level. Paul's Electric Frog is the reason we met in a small town bar rich in history and close to a body of water full of frog eating Bass. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Paul and I met on a winter's afternoon to tie a bug or two in the shadows of the deep red leather booths of the 617. Washed down with a couple cold ones Paul and I traded stories and dreams; places been and places yet to be fished. Paul works as a high-end adventure travel guy, taking folks fishing all over the world. His company, Sporting Life, specializes in long distance adventure based salt water and large Salmonoid fishing.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #144fae; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><u><br />
</u></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">If you're looking for some new patterns or a trip you won't forget try giving a SID certified guy a call. PS he lives on the Mississippi and guides quite literally the greatest stretch of smallmouth water in the country, if you want to stay in country for a trip you won't soon forget.</span><br />

<br />
Virtual Paper is having Technical Difficulties - We're moving to Page Gangster- will send out SID 6 here in a day or two again once we've signed a contract. Forgive the interruption. You have to love letting me pay for another issue last night and taking down the service the next morning- great business model!<br />

<br />
SID is getting a face lift sometime this year. I have got three different bids to build a more robust web site, with blog. Have to sit down with the wife now and figure out how much we can spend. <br />
<br />
We just got an FTP site: now to figure out how to use.<br />
<br />
Looking into mass distribution emails, but unfortunately GODaddy limits the number to 250 outgoing emails per day. Not going to cut the 5k list I have of folks who want to subscribe.<br />
<br />
If you didn't see this issue of the Catch it's worth a look. SID got a little love inside too. Also, looks like we snuck a pic into Fly Fishing Journal this issue from the Musky tribe. <br />

The instructor is superb. He has patience of a saint and can help H hit the target close to 75% of the time. Keeps my little man motivated and drawing arrows until his little muscles shake. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">The guys at <a href="http://www.highfivearcheryonline.com/">High Five Archery</a> are top notch. Hudson has fallen in love with shooting his "Boandarrow" and it's all due to the tremendous tutelage he's received from the staff at High Five. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">The focus Hudson musters while trying to drill an arrow into the target or pop a balloon is unparalleled during the rest of his day. He really gets into it. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">We signed up for a family membership today, so we could go back and got Hudson (and Dad) another lesson here next week. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Of course I brought a camera along. Here are a few photos of little man plucking targets and popping balloons today at lunch time. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

Apparently, we've attracted some attention.. who knew that was a bad thing. I can tell you this.. Some time in the next year or so you will see a major rag run a story about our family vacation in Hawaii last week. I can also tell you Bone fish there average 10 lbs. Here is the one picture I can put out. Outside that you all will just have to buy a copy of this none-fly-fishing, but outdoor sports related magazine. Sorry this is the one story SID folks can't have the scoop first on. <br />

However, I can tell you in the next three to four months SID will most likely visit the SALT 3 more times in search of Permit, Tarpoon, Snook, and yes more Bones.... <br />
<br />
I would love to swing a couple S.A. trips too, but not sure the funds will hold out. Golden D is on the list and so are Taimen in Asia with my friends from WCA. I'm going to try and swing it, but not sure I can afford the whole deal. I guess it's the bad part about not taking advertisement on you have to fund it all yourself. Oh well, the pay off is, you get what you see and that is the real thing. Some guys who just love to fish and get lucky taking a picture or two. <br />
<br />
So far 2011 looks like this:<br />
<br />
Trip to MX for Slam<br />
Trip to Keys for Slam<br />
Trip to Jellystone for Father-Son Annual<br />
Trip to MT with a guy you may know from the Catch<br />
Trip to Baja for Roosters<br />
Trip to Canada or two this summer... I live so close now have to run up there and see what we have left as Northern Wilderness<br />
Trips...... you will all be tired of Smallmouth and Musky by next year, they're everywhere up here - and I plan to fish every day after work from May until Oct..<br />
Trips to Northern parts of Wisco an Mich... Got new friends to make there<br />
Who knows what else- I would really like some epic Chrome in there... Maybe we can squeeze the Dean in the fall..... I don't know.... so much to do so little PTO.....<br />
<br />
Going to have to be creative is all I can say... I'm really itching to fish with my friends from WCA again. Really the nicest bunch of guys I've ever encountered as outfitters. Class act, fishy as hell, and humble. Hard to find trio of traits in anglers.<br />
<br />
Good doods.<br />
<br />
We will see how it unfolds...<br />
<br />
PS - you will see a lot more hunting in 2011 too. Turkey, Deer, and many many Birds will be taken..<br />
<br />
Email aaron if you have an idea or want to fish... seems I make some really good friends via the web.. feel pretty blessed in that respect.<br />

Bone fishing three days in the only flats Hawaii has off one of the tiny islands. <br />
<br />
BONE FISH! We're going to see if we can get H into one! Youngest dude to ever catch a bone on the fly- or so we think. He's 4 that's pretty small to stalk a fish on the flats. I asked him if he wanted to fish, he responded with, "Can we catch a shark?"<br />
<br />
LOL!<br />

Hard to believe we're putting a cap on another year.<br />

Not in order of any significance other than finding the images on my laptop:<br />
<br />
Fishing with H- he really came into his own this year. I loved every moment of it.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Fishing with H this year was hard to beat - here is one of many sunfish on a rainy day. We tried to shoot for four days in a row for the Big O- it poured on us every ten minutes we had to run out between storms to catch a couple fish. There is no playing around with a little guy and a nine foot lightening rod so we didn't get too many shots. </td></tr>

We caught quite a few fish and Rob put some numbers on the board breaking a long streak of bad luck on the Colorado. This may be my favorite piece of water in the world, and almost every day you can fish it all by yourself.</td></tr>

If you haven't seen the latest Fly Fisherman we've got a couple Musky shots in the feature article we're proud of. Thanks FF for spreading the SID lifestyle around. Looks like Fly Fish Journal might have picked up a couple images too this next run, pretty cool. <br />
<br />
First real update, SID 5 will be out by XMAS. We have a bunch of really great content this run, looking forward to having another issue behind us. Haven't been fishing. Shoulder needed a bit of attention from a medical professional, that is now good to go.. hopefully. <br />
<br />
Looking forward to a couple days in the deer stand here shortly after we get back from Hawaii. (Maybe look around a bit for a Bone or two while I'm living Island XMAS life. We'll see!) I love to hunt end of season. Most guys have left the woods, and animals start acting like.. animals again. We will most likely shoot a late season deer tag fill in the snow, pictures to follow. <br />
<br />
My friends at Match The Hatch have been keeping me busy with articles on the Southwest for 2011. On top of the 2011 SID filled SWFF you will see our AK adventure in FR&R, a Cheap trips guide in FF, and our images popping up all places in-between. The Big O has picked a number of our trips for their 2011 catalogs - you will be pleased to see lots of "you" in their upcoming mailings. <br />
<br />
Amongst the images TU picked up for 2011 was Hudson for (I think) the month of July- could be August, can't remember. <br />
<br />
I got asked to do an interview with Outdoor Life a week ago or so that was pretty cool. It's hard to not look at all these opportunities and feel pretty lucky. There are so many better photographers out there, and pretty much everyone is better writer, I just can't believe the publications keep asking for more. Very, very blown away that we're still getting requests, feel like the curtain has to fall and someone will step out and say, "Psych" at any moment. <a href="http://www.outdoorlife.com/photos/gallery/hunting/2010/11/best-shooters-aaron-otto">Outdoor Life Interviews Aaron Otto</a>.<br />
<br />
Looks like the guys over at <a href="http://bloodknot.net/">Bloodknot</a> are going to highlight our little blog here next issue. That should be neat. They have a pretty cool mag you should check out if you get time. I dig the content and actually take the time to read it. Most of my print mags, I just chuck after previewing for images or articles that stand out. Cool thing they've got going on. Was a bit surprised they asked to put our blog in it, but flattered none-the-less. I haven't had much personal exposure to the guys over there, but they seem like good doods- check it out. <br />
<br />
We didn't get to float the new boat this season, really bummed there. Tried three times, but the freezing rain killed our season. It will sit in our garage all winter and be worked on. I have some big modification ideas, we will see. Plan on shooting the entire winter's work. <br />
<br />
Dec will be mostly deer hunting, pheasants, and an ice-trip or two. We will be headed to fish the Pan this Jan again, and the Keys for an off season Tarpon run. Feb, nothing planned for real at the moment, but March will take a group of us back to Pyramid Lake, then April to Argentina for Clear Water Golden Dorado in small streams. May is back to the Baja to chase roosters with the same old crowd, good people for sure. <br />
<br />
Looks like more tying and planning in the near future, less fishing. Hmmmmm.......<br />
<br />
Read a quote by Hemingway the other night, one I hadn't seen before, but was so spot on that I have to use it, "Somebody just back of you while you are fishing is as bad as someone looking over your shoulder while you write a letter to your girl." -Ernest Hemingway<br />
<br />
<br />
I've been reading back issues of Hatch magazine lately, I really like this one. Seems like I refer back to it at least a few times per year when I'm looking for something different to read. I love their covers. I want to shoot a cover for them of a fly steaming in the sun. I think that would be too cool. <br />
<br />
I used to read the Drake the most, but I'm relating to it less lately. I'm starting to get the feeling it's a magazines just for guides, although Tom's sense of humor is hilarious, some of the other stuff isn't really connecting with me now. Maybe I'm just old. Photography still is spot on though, the creative eye for that rag is unreal. I have a hard time when through with the latest issue: do I shoot or fish? <br />
<br />
Got a couple Hatch reels recently, going to put them through the ringer.. will report later on this next year how they stand up. I'm looking to buy some Sharkskin to spool them up with. I know folks give it a bad wrap for sound, but dang you can toss that line a country mile! Besides I got a buddy back working there at SA again, you have to support that. Sorry Rio, changing out lines to SA. <br />
<br />
I got a hold of my very first SAGE Bass Rod a month ago or so. Casted their proto-type PMP rod too. This one is putting me in a bad spot. I have another buddy who works for the Big O and really has taken care of me, and he doesn't have to. Companies like Orvis and Patagonia have real photographers and much better anglers than me lining up to get their business. I love the Helios, maybe the greatest rod I've ever casted, but for fishing Musky and Bass, throwing big, big flies this BASS line by SAGE is pretty tough to beat. Holly-Je...us can you throw line with a short rod, and it casts all day. Sage doesn't give me a discount, and has never sent me a thing besides increasing repair bills for tips snapped off: So this is about as honest as you can get, If you're throwing after Musky you really need to keep your eye on their series. It will save your shoulder and arm. <br />
<br />
In closing there were a couple folks we lost here recently, people who made a difference for many of us. <br />
<br />
I've never asked anything I guess for folks to do other than just read along, but tonight I would really like to think there are few folks tipping one back for Rich and Tom. A silent toast given between wraps of your favorite bug would be a act worthy of reaching them above. <br />
<br />
Tom the Midwest will never be the same, "Here's to you."<br />
<br />
Rich, "When I see you, you know what we're doing. You can cast first, I'm taking your picture."

</div><div> I picked H up and put him in the new S.S. SID. He's standing on the deck of the boat looking at me, eye to eye and says, "Dad we need to talk." First of all, he's four years old. A bold statement made by an adult, but catching me completely off guard made by such a little guy. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Hudson further goes on to say, "I really want to ice fish, but this new boat is so cool and would make a great pirate ship. We should get out the telescope and be pirates. Also dad, you should know that I'm really a secret super hero and the bad-guys aren't allowed on our ship, because that would give away my secret identity."</div><div><br />
</div><div>At that moment, I just grabbed him up and squeezed. I love moments that remind you of how in love you are with your kids. That was one of them for me. He's just awesome. I let the camera roll after that just H and me in the garage goofing off. The front seat has his name on it. He's already asked how we could take the seat off so he could stand on the cooler and fish. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Have to give a big thank you to Hyde. Jim at Hyde really took care of me. I don't feel worthy- thank you.</div><div><br />

I had plans to go visit some new friends in Cali for a really good cause. However, without getting into it, life - or my life- got in the way. The Doc says, "No Casting." I agree, because some stuff still need to be figured out. Bummed out, because there was a couple guys I wanted to fish with pretty bad. Fishy guys, good guys, the kind of guys who know SID. <br />
<br />
Long story short, the Doc said nothing about lifting my lens close to my house. He said no travel, and no casting a long rod... jokingly I thought, "How will I pee?" LOL. <br />
<br />
Let's round this one out. Instead of catching a $632.33 flight I had bought to go fish, I met some buddies while I waited for a certain phone call. My buddies happen to be doing something I love: Shooting Birds. Won't hold you in suspense, got the call, I'm good to go as soon as some healing takes place. <br />

<div><br />
</div><div>Hopefully, there will be a 2nd annual ball so I can temper the juice a bit and snap a few clicks to have something besides an empty bottle of Aspirin to show for my time up in Muskyville. </div><div><br />
</div><div>I'm not so young anymore.... paid a heavy price all Saturday for this one. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Turnout was good. Guessing a couple hundred people showed up in support of their favorite fin and it's angling King, Brad. </div><div><br />

Their featured tune was an ode to Brad and his world record even adding the verse, "Zero to Hero" into the song marking Bardly's coined saying about fishing the big fin.<br />
<br />
Overall it was a wonderful outing, catching up with friends, making new fishing plans, and dancing a bit of our night away. Will have to take it easy on the juice next year and snap a couple shots. Would have been great to have captured Brad's PIMP costume on film. <br />
<br />
Speaking of PIMPs we made a new friend at the local fly shop. Never been into Hayward Fly Company before. The gentleman behind the counter was kind enough to let us go out back and toss a proto-type SAGE mysteriously named PMP; for Pike, Musky, and Peacock. A short stick, very similar to the Bass Rod I was throwing (by Sage), the Largemouth, but with a bit more "Umph" to it. Pretty cool. <br />

After soaking up the previous night's booze with hard road breakfast we headed home. Little Addison was sick, and my folk 's had been kind enough to keep an eye on her for us. <br />
<br />
<br />
Before we left town I prayed for forgiveness at my church and asked for kindness to the fly from my large finned friends. I had a trip planned for a local lake the next day, and figured it couldn't hurt.<br />
<br />
As shown from the first shot in this serious I think the Fish God Musky-Titus was listening. Rewarding this disciple with a healthy fish, thick as hell.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Jeff is a gear guy and teaches me a lot about the game of 5000 casts. I feel pretty lucky that Jeff let's me ride along and throw flies off the back of his boat while he chucks these huge lures off the front and trolls suckers out the rear. Every time I go out with Jeff I learn something. Truly a dedicated angler if there ever was one. I know it's no the popular opinion in our quiet sport, but I love fishing with gear guys. My bass buds down in AZ from the Hook up fish after buckets like a science. Every time I get the chance to fish with guys throwing hardware I jump on it. Always a learning opportunity. </td></tr>

Time to turn my attention to get ready for a couple upcoming trips. Headed to the Delta in a couple weeks for a benefit, don't have a single bug tied. Got a Musky weekend or two coming up, again a couple bugs tied. Need to get busy. <br />
<br />
In the garage are a couple storage bins full of bugs. I found a case from a recent Bristol adventure on top with a white printed Label, "Bristol Bay: Silvers". There is something about throwing Dry flies (POGs) at 12-20 pound salmon that gets a guys blood just going. <br />
<br />
I'm hoping to get to go back next year. Hopefully the photos were good enough to warent a return trip. That's always a huge fear of mine when I go out on a trip with photos for an outfitter. In a dark place, stuck somewhere between reality and the click of my shutter lays the possibility that I could fail someone who just paid for my trip in exchange for images. Last week I saw Sweetwater Travel using my images already, that is a serious heavy load off my back. The possibility of doing something with so much of myself invested in not being used scares the crap out of me. The weight of the possible-failure never really leaves me until I've seen the images or read the words in print. So with a sigh of relief, mind can start to enjoy some of the crazy fishing memories made in Alaska this year.<br />
<br />
Here is some of my Silver-sickness. I've caught the bug. <br />

We pinned one little guy about 36 inches, I had a couple eats and one other really nice follow. Looking to buy a drift boat ASAP. I figure I can get at least ten more days out before the end of the year and it's just turning into prime time. More to come laters! <br />

I'm up like it was the night before Christmas and I was ten.<br />
<div><br />
</div>I've found a few fish that haunt me like Musky. Roosters are a different game and so are Permit. Silvers on a Dry fly are similar but have much larger numbers in migration compared to resident toothy Musky. If you look at the most recent <a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=2108756071824863296">publication of </a> Fly Fisherman you can sneak a peak at some images captured with my amigos: Lucky and Bardly. Musky Tribesmen setting the bar both Lucky and Brad are the core and heart of Musky angling. It's the heart that seems to comes back to me over and over. I don't know what I would do if I didn't fish. I do know one thing it has to do with with my heart. <br />
<br />
Tomorrow I fish for Musky with a friend and a friend. Mark, my fellow angler I have known since I was young. We have been friends for a long time. I have spent many days with Mark on the water. I'm a lucky guy for each one of them.<br />
<br />
Our Oarsmen, Lucky, is a fisherman with a golden soul. l love the work coming from FeltSoul Media, the vibe they give off reminds me of Lucky. He's just that kind of fishy-dood. Lives his life one fin at at time, smiling every day in-between. <br />
<br />
<br />
Good people, our tribe of SID, these are just a couple. I'm thankful for my fishing buddies. Thankful tomorrow, I may have a rare chance to connect with the fish that eludes so many, a giant Midwestern Musky. If not, well, guess what: It's a day on the water with guys who know SID.Aaronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14390777186743525608noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2108756071824863296.post-298792806051970232010-10-07T18:17:00.000-07:002010-10-09T09:59:47.397-07:00Bristol Bay with Sweetwater Travel<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

I had one break in between a spell of being a single dad, packing my house up for moving, and being plum in the middle of the biggest financial merger in the history of the world. Crazy times for my life of little water lately.<br />
<br />
For all intensive purposes I'm pretty much single with little ones in tow. Wife has been working a job out of town for six weeks. Doing anything other than surviving consists of a thirty second shower I get if the kids don't wake up before the water gets hot enough to get in, dump soap on my head, and get out. <br />
<br />
I'm praying that some time this week, my last week in Arizona, that I get one last chance to visit some old friends in a trickle up north of Phx and just south of the Rockies. If so, I'm taking H with me. Who knows though, my life at work is pretty rough at the moment. Getting to play hooky for the day may not happen. I've got five teams right now, mostly here in Arizona, but one in India too, another group in California. Sorting through their struggles has been taking a lot of my time. <br />
<br />
It's hard for me not to invest myself in people who work for me. I care about them, even the ones I don't necessarily like. Not sure if this is a sign I shouldn't be a manager or a sign that I should learn to be less emotionally involved? Only time and my firing could tell. For right now, I remind myself with a post-it-note stuck to the bottom of my inside desk drawer, "They're not my kids." Not written in a bad sense, although sometimes I think it should be. Written with the sediment that a conscious reminder of my employees aren't my blood relatives helps me make hard decisions in the face of harder choices. Interesting how we rationalize as beings responsible for more than themselves. This is cathartic, screw fishing blog, I should actually admit to my work struggles publicly more often: feeling better already. <br />
<br />
So I got to fish in July maybe August, I don't remember with my friend Chris again. Chris is good for my soul. We laugh more than we do anything else. I need a reminder of how guys can be super-together, top of the career, and still laugh. We got to fish a little river outside a town that shall be a town for the sake of this drip of random lettering. I promised a guy a while back who I don't really fish with anymore, I wouldn't write about this one. Haven't yet, outside my blog, but still feels like I shouldn't. So anywho.. This river is the river to end all Brown Trout rivers in this part of the planet. Chris and I spent a few days playing hopper-scotcher, wine drinking, hammock swinging, fish-t-farians there during the prime time. It was fishTastic with a capital T.<br />
<br />
Spent some time in Bristol Bay with my friend Bob. Wow. Wow. Wow. Will post and write more about all this. For now signing off. Kids are finally snoring and I want to poor myself a stiff drink, maybe read a book on how to be a better manager, and hit the rack. Guaranteed, Addison, will be up at 5am asking for "Cheer-Os". Better be ready. <br />
<br />
Until later, somebody fish for me, not sure it will happen any time soon.<br />
