Montana 2023

July 17, 2023 Jo Tango

“You’re about to burn out and should do some self-care.” That’s what my life coach, Fr. Bill Brown, told me last December. It was all self-inflicted but having two jobs was taking a toll. I have not taken extended time off since 1995, and so, I decided to take a one-month sabbatical in Montana to

Still and Chill

July 18, 2021July 22, 2021 Jo Tango

It’s been a busy summer, and most of it has been self-inflicted. I’m writing six cases for my HBS class when I probably should have attempted one or two. But I’ve learned this about myself: I am happiest when I’m very busy. I think the curveball was a family funeral that was surprisingly uplifting. But

Dawn Patrol, June 2021

June 27, 2021June 28, 2021 Jo Tango

I’m going through a bit of a refresh: I’m replacing my four-year old iPhone, swapping out our 12-year-old family computer, and throwing out some old t-shirts.

Some of my fellow writers at a fly-fishing blog and I rented a house on a river to take a shot at some large-and-wild

Bridges 2021

April 22, 2021April 22, 2021 Jo Tango

Just after booking my first vaccine shot, I felt compelled to do the next best thing: plan a fly-fishing trip! In fact, I planned two, a solo trip in the Berkshires and a long weekend in Maine with my fly-fishing-blog posse. I’ve taken a few days from work this week to fish. Uncharacteristically for me,

A Greater Whole

March 28, 2021April 9, 2021 Jo Tango

On Saturday, I had some good luck finding fish, including a really stunning 17″ buttery brown and a 16″ feisty male. At lunch time, I went back to the car and heard a car stop behind me. “Did you catch many fish?” I heard a kind voice and turned around. It was an older lady,
