Jimmy, now you undserstand how I felt last year and feel this year. It's a pitty and a shame, that I cannot make it. I'm in a huge IT project and our cut over weekend was planned to be the Sowbug weekend. Rene -----Original Message----- Date: Wed, 07 Feb 2007 15:28:20 +0100 Subject: [VFB] Sow Bug - Bah Humbug !

YA\'LL REALLY KNOW HOW TO HURT A FRIEND! I HAD TO CANCEL MY SOW BUG TRIP THIS YEAR BECAUSE OF MY 70TH BIRTHDAY PARTY, PLANNED BY JODY AND MY TWO DAUGHTERS, WHICH WILL BRING ALL MY KIDS AND GRANDKIDS TOGETHER HERE AT OUR HOUSE THE WEEKEND OF SOW BUG. BUT . . . . WHAT DO YA\'LL DO! YOU JUST KEEP ON TALKING ABOUT SOW BUG. I READ EACH POST AND FEEL A DEEP SPIRALING INTO THE ABYSS OF DESPAIR THAT COMES WHEN YOU KNOW YOU\'RE GONNA MISS ONE OF LIFE\'S HIGHLIGHTS! I USED TO BE THE "RAM ROD" WHEN IT CAME TO GETTING EVERYBODY TOGETHER AND MAKING VFB NAMETAGS AND STUFF TO IDENTIFY US AND TAKING GROUP PICTURES, ETC. ETC. I SURE DO MISS THE "GETTING READY" FOR SOW BUG, NOT TO MENTION I\'LL MISS SEEING MY VFB BUDDYS. I\'M TURNING GREENER EVERY DAY AND WITH EVERY POST FROM YOU VFB\'ERS WHO ARE GOING THIS YEAR, I GET A LITTLE MORE DEPRESSED. ;-) SO, WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP ME IN MY DILEMMA? WOULD ONE OF YOU PLEASE SEND ME SOME PHOTOS OF THE GROUP TO HANG ABOVE MY NEW FLY TYING DESK THAT JODY IS MAKING FOR ME. And, please don't stop the Sow Bug postings to the VFB. No Sow Bug is worse than a bunch of Sow Bug! Crying in my Beer! JIMMY D P.S. Now that I think about it, I believe Jody's building my new fly tying desk and putting in a bunch of cabinets/drawers in the remodeled fly tying room is to atone for keeping me PRISONER here during Sow Bug! ;-) ************************ > ******************************* Byard Miller, owner of the VFB also owns LINES END Online Fly Shop so, for all your Fly Tying/fishing needs click on http://linesend.com [1] Byard gives a 5% discount to all dues paying VFB members.
