Christmas Day

Klamath River Fishing Trip 12-22 to 12-23

Santa CRASHED!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been mentioning to Sandi that I wanted to sleep on the deck some night. Last night she called me on my 'bluff.' It was a perfectly clear night with no wind. There were a million stars out and a very bright moon. I saw meteors, listened to far off barking dogs, and slept very warm. There was frost on my bag, but inside it was warm and toasty. I feel I need to do things like this to really appreciate a nice warm bed and stove. It makes me feel alive!

Dec. 1 marks the first day of crab season, and I can't remember when there was such nice weather. Usually it's raining, blowing, and storming and everyone feels sorry for the miserable conditions that usually come with the season opener. We had our first crab last week, and it was every bit as good as we remembered. We're ready for more!

What a great day! I got to go fishing with Rachael and Andrew today and maybe Christmas Tree hunting with Randy and Claudia tomorrow. It's shaping up to be a great weekend. Sandi and I just got back from doing some Christmas shopping and it's always amazing the things you can buy at the stores. All kinds of new things. Case in point; do you there is a winery called Cleavage Creek Winery? It doesn't have a picture of a geology formation on the label either, it's the 'real deal.' Some of the money from the sales goes toward Breast Cancer research. I think that it is a very noble purpose considering it's just a bottle of wine. I don't even like wine, and it make me want to give my full support to it. Also, I think that it would be a very uplifting experience to be able to take part in supporting this cause. I may even buy two bottles just to show to show that I'm doing my part and assisting in the cause.
