R.C. Brophy Gets There - Eventually
Always wandering…Never lost
R.C. Brophy As I sit here working later than usual, I dream of fishing. The day on the lake back in the woods seems as clear to me as if it were yesterday. The lake (which shall remain nameless lest others hope to seek out my prime spot) is only five miles away, but it takes 45 … Read more
So, I had A Day Without Snow, as one blog title. I will try this one today, since it is what I see when I look out the window. The sky is gray. It doesn’t look like it would be a particularly inviting day, however, it is mid-January, and it is supposed to get up … Read more
