It's all the proverbial blur. Thursday started off and continued for most of it as a "shouldn't have bothered getting out of bed" day. Murphy's Law was in full effect at school, handling fights, flights, meetings and beatings. Manage to bulldoze through the fly class with no-shows from kids and adult volunteers. Damned border bastards. Broke the cell phone, had to get a new one as it was indispensable in pulling off one major juggling act after another. But it did all work out one way or another, and the evening turned into a good one, making new friends, and swapping good stories until the wee hours.
Friday, waking up for the yearly physical tests proved to be a challenge. Not looking forward to the results. The rest of the day proved to be one of grand enlightenment and making the best of being an outsider looking in.
Saturday, watching the casting demonstrations on the Skagit by some of the masters was a lot like watching batting practice at Safeco Field. A fun evening and an early turn-in capped the day off.
Today got up early, got to hang out with my favorite mom. You know you're in the right place when taking a nap isn't considered a rude thing. Spending time with Steve is becoming increasingly precious and increasingly tough. He gave me a new fly rod he had custom made, this coming from a guy who knows he's going to be out of work for good in about 15 months. Took all I had not to lose it then. It's tough as hell seeing someone so active deteriorating physically. I gotta get him out fishing while he still can. Conversely, it was so relaxing to hang out with the Hurleys. Ollie appears to have done very well in the girlfriend department, seems like a great young gal. Looking forward to fishing with Mick in Idaho during the break.
Tired. Tired. Tired.

Being Heyoka I live knee deep in Murphy's law and find there has to be a lesson in it for me or others every time. Even if it's just taking the time to laugh at myself. :D
