"Colin you have a package labeled "Fragile"", said Theresa before we left for Cape May. Mmm. I couldn't remember ordering something off Amazon or Temu that might be fragile so I went to investigate. The package came from Massachusetts from my buddy Joe Cordeiro. As I opened it I knew what it was and it brought a smile to my face.
Joe had asked me to send him a copy of my favorite image from our Martha's Vineyard 2025 trip. It was one of Abe up on the ladder and me with the Orvis sling pack over the wrong shoulder in Menemsha Pond. In retirement, Joe has started pursuing something he's wanted to do for a long time....painting. I'll be sure to hang this in my fly tying room with some other special things that bring me good striped bass and fly fishing vibes.
