Finally, the too-long “staycation” at the local hospital and culinary arts trauma center is over … leaving me weaker, behind the work eight-ball, but cancer-free and more than motivated to get into the field! I just hope Buddy remembers some of the skills we were working on. [Insert stern warning: over fifty? Get a colonoscopy.] Missed [...]

It’s the smells that hit you first. For a desert rat, the rank, thick, clinging organic odors of an early season ruffed grouse hunt in the forest assault the nostrils. It takes a little getting used to. Same for Buddy, I’ll bet. His nose is slightly longer than mine, so maybe even more so. Okay, [...]
