Hurts to have to say this, guys �

For reasons that you don't want to hear, I won't be contributing as usual to this year's rendezvous � (my loss).

No guns or binoculars for prizes, no food, no personal mementos as in the past. No one'll notice that lack, of course. The food supply won't suffer, and maybe someone else'll step-up, as Butch Lambert has done, with prizes for the best shooting.

I'll be out there for a few minutes if I can, just to watch the goin's-on.

The shining fact � worth joyfully shouting about � is that our wonderful little get-togethers sustain themselves very well. Camaraderie at its best! Wonderful to behold. laugh


"Good enough" isn't.

Always take your responsibilities seriously but never yourself.
