Road to the Smokies: Morning Thoughts
By Tom Chandler on May 1, 2007 in Tennessee, Travel
This will be short (I’m writing instead of fishing, a tough sell to most fly fishers), but I had a chance to see the 7′ 3wt Diamondglass rod (wrapped by Rich) in the morning light.
Rich Margiotta’s Emerald wraps on a 7′ 3wt Diamondglass (fiberglass).
Pretty job, and while we’ve still got to test-cast the thing, it could even see action on today’s Brookie outing. More as it happens.
Brain Drain
A good night’s sleep does wonders for your brain.
Traveling always makes me feel fuzzy, due in large part to airline terminals — the places designed to be so miserable, they make you want to risk your life by getting on a plane.
Still, I’d forgotten the music played in terminals, which is clearly picked to suck the intelligence right out of your grey matter; the dumber you are, the less likely you’re going to object to being treated like cattle.
So you’re sitting there — in an industrial setting akin to hell (in tasteful greys and earth tones), your intelligence leaking out your ears — and wondering why you do it.
Once we get a few errands out of the way, I’m going to remember. Brookies ho!
See you… hell, I’m not telling where you’ll find me, Tom Chandler.
