More Fun Under Winter Sun

Red Sox Fans of the Day: Mr. and Mrs. Andy Max Cox
Red Sox Alert: February 6, 2009 is "Truck Day" (Red Sox equipment truck leaves Boston for Spring Training in Florida.) Pitchers and catchers report in fourteen days for Spring Training. Check out the websites for Boston Dirt Dogs or the Boston Globe for further details.



Hi, everybody! Above is a photo of my black lab, Spike, during a pheasant hunt this winter. Spike is actually quite smart. He is smarter than most of my friends and whole bunch smarter than my two nephews. You will be seeing more of Spike in future posts and hopefully less of my nephews.


I've been receiving complaints from certain family members about the preponderance of Red Sox information on this blog. I have been asked to comment on other subjects such as mountain biking. The only thing I know about mountain biking is that it is a favorite activity of George W. Bush. Enough said! See photo above.


KNOT OF THE WEEK!
BOWLINE KNOT
This is a very valuable knot to learn. It does not slip and can be used to go around your waist when you are mountain climbing (or biking), hanging from a helicopter, or being dragged by a horse.

FISHING FLY OF THE WEEK
Pheasant Tail Nymph



FLAVOR OF THE WEEK
Peppermint Cabbage





MEET MY FAMILY
Above is a photo of my sister, Joyce Eliason.
She is a screenwriter living in Hollywood. The body of her work can be located on the Internet Movie Database.com
Her latest movie will be shown on Lifetime Channel, Feb. 28, 2009. Watch for further info.

Wow Voo, what a post! I am so inspired. I leave your blog with a thought for the day, a new fly to go tie, a knot to practice, and a desire for cabbage flavored icecream!
