Acts of Wedding Kindness

July 5, 2018 Jo Tango

Two particular details have stuck in my mind. First, while at Kripalu, I saw a t-shirt with this on it: “Love all, serve all.” Second, I’ve always remembered reading about Thomas White.

Scenes from a Sunday

July 1, 2018July 1, 2018 Jo Tango

Here are some photos and videos from today. The highlights are that our son is feeling better and that let me see some trout. The best one taped at 19″. Even though it was a blazing-hot day, the river was a refreshing 58 °F. Hope you all had a good Sunday.

Father-Daughter Fishing Trip 2018

June 16, 2018June 17, 2018 Jo Tango

We have had a great time up in the NH woods near Canada. While cold and rainy at times, the fish have cooperated, and we landed dozens a day. The scenery has been beautiful, and the river, cold and pure. I look forward all year to coming up here. Each day, I arise early and
