Jimi, thanks for your concern. I have more flies than I can fish in a
"lifetime". Here lately, I just can't tie anything smaller than a 14 with
these old arthritic fingers. Since I had to drop out of the Mega Midge, Rene
and Bob asked me to come up with a Midge related quote so that I could still
be involved in the swap, even tho I wasn't tying. Couldn't make up a quote,
so, you know me - I wrote a poem. Rene already has it posted on the Midge
Swap Site.
Thanks again, my friend.
Jimmy
