I get two magazine subscriptions. One is Scientific American, the other is Field and Stream. What a strange thing it is to be friends with someone you don't know. I guess to truelly be "friends" with someone they have to have met you. When it comes to Bill though, if he showed up at my camp in the spring he'd be welcome. His writing is very genuine. Bill is very open about his triumphs as well as his failures. This morning, I read a story in his new book If You didn't Bring Beef Jerky, Then What Did I Just Eat. Yet again I'm almost brought to tears by Bill's writing. Sometimes its tears from laughing so hard, as in the his fly fishing vs. spin casting article. Sometimes its a tragic story like the one I read today about mowing his neighbors lawn. No matter what the story is, it is always real. So Bill, if you are one of the five people who will read my blog (I know, five people seems a stretch) then I'd like to extend to you an invitation to come out and hunt Merriam's in New Mexico with my dad and I. If you accept you will be the only other taker out of about 10 people that I've invited. Hope to hear from you soon.
