St. Vrain Angler News & Muse December 21, 2004

Greetings!

I hope you are well this fine day.

It's Christmas. A time when many celebrate something special, when others find an extra day of rest, when children beam with hope and delight and so on and so forth. How is it for you?

I have a CD with music written, arranged and performed by a group of old black men. They sing acapella, which means without instruments, although they make instrumental sounds from time to time. They aren't always in tune or on pitch, but the energy and soul of what they sing is delightful. We look forward to listening to their Christmas Album every year.

One of their songs - at least one that they do - says this: Christmas is Love.

And that's enough for me.

I hope yours is full of love.

Merry Christmas!

If you are looking for something special at the last minute, please come by and pick up Jay's book: In Neck Deep. Many of you have met Jay by now. He's a fine young man. Grew up in Ohio along Lake Erie and wants to make his way teaching fly fishing.

His book is very well-written and is an enjoyable read. Jay will be here to sign your copy. Please support him by getting a copy of his book.

That's it for today.

I hope you are well. I'm wishing each of you the best.

I'm wishing each of you love. Christmas is Love.
