I fished yesterday. Half of our children are out of town, and there are fewer activities in the summer. So, it is a chance to get out with minimal guilt. Also, it’s a nice way to take a rest from work and family obligations. I focus on one thing: catching fish. Fly fishing is a

This is a long post. If you want to jump to some photos, just scroll down. I am up here in NH, near the Canadian border, to fish the beginning of the Connecticut River. It’s an annual trip for me, and my 10th trip up. I have many special memories of this area. I used

A 21″ Brown Trout

May 9, 2015May 9, 2015 Jo Tango

I feel really good about our Thursday meeting with our investors. We heard very positive feedback about the portfolio as well as the transparency that we always try to show. It was a good feeling. I’m so grateful to our investors and to the portfolio company CEOs, who made time to speak. I long ago
