My daughter, lovely whelp that she is, gave me a card showing a kid picking his nose that said " Birthdays are like boogers !" When you open it is says " because the more you have, the harder it becomes to breathe!"
But I am really looking forward to guiding this next year as we have both a spring and a fall brown bear season !

Thanks everyone. I was not expecting all these birthday greetings. I guess getting older has a few perks. My daughter and son-in-law are taking me with them to Mekoryuk next week on a muskox hunt and two years ago my son took us to Zimbabwe for cape buffalo. And due to Covid, last year's bear hunt was postponed to this season so I have both a spring and a fall brown bear season to look forward to ! 😁
Everyone asks when I plan on retiring, but how can you retire from hunting ?

Just to point out, there is an autobiography (or a biography, should that be the case) holed up inside of you waiting to see the printed page. (If you happen to have contact with that Barsness fellow, mention that the same thing applies to him.)

Tell Brian the same thing, and then the three of you frequently remind each other.
