It’s been a while since I’ve written here and there is one reason for that. I’ve had absolutely nothing to say. Hard to believe isn’t it. This time of year is very busy for me and every spare minute I have (when I’m not at work, church, or kids sporting … Continue reading
Lessons Learned
You’re lucky to have me around. Why? Because by having me around you get to learn from my screw ups, and trust me I make a lot of them, so you don’t have to make the mistakes yourself. For example, today I missed a deer that was almost close enough … Continue reading
