Fishing Friday

There were four of us that went fishing last Saturday. My friends Bob, John, John's son Jessie and myself. We fished a small eastern shore lake I have written about before called Unicorn Lake. It was windy and cold. I managed to take a small sunfish on a clouser fly. John took this citation size 14" yellow perch. This is the largest yellow perch I have seen in Maryland. I am sure there are larger specimens here, but I haven't seen any. The others caught a few nice sized sunfish. It was a nice day spent with friends.

Twenty Years
Today is the last day of my twentieth year of service in the U.S. Army. I entered service on November 5, 1987 at Fort Dix, New Jersey. As well as New Jersey, I have been stationed in Texas, California (twice), Massachusetts, Arizona, Colorado, Virginia (twice), Maryland as well as Germany and Bosnia. I have had great assignments and some that were not much fun. I have many stories to tell and perhaps I can begin to put pen to paper or finger to keyboard as it is. I did not necessarily plan to make it a career, but I love being a soldier and I love being around soldiers. It has been an honor to serve our great country and I am but one of a long line of great Americans of every background and station in this, the best country on the earth, to serve with pride. Some day soon, I will put up the spurs and take off the boots and begin another career. But for the time being I will continue to go to work along side some of the best people I have ever known. Thank you for indulging me this moment of reflection, I just wanted to share a personal milestone with you all.
