Genius
June 20, 2023
It was unlike any dream in my first seventy three years of life. The only word that comes close to describe it is ‘luminous’.

Oooops

An aging angler somewhat like myself was sixty yards downstream from me yesterday at scenic Tarryall Creek. He was standing idly on the bank as the stream rushed by.
