January 16, 2007. Happy Birthday to me. Well, kinda! It was actually last Saturday. It was pretty good. Although my Baltimore Ravens lost their AFC Playoff game and it was raining, it was still a pretty good day. I got Verizon FiOS installed in the house. Now I have smokin video and broadband service and my HDTV is fully functional. More importantly, though, my wife and kids gave me a fly tying kit and my mother-in-law gave me a portable fly tying platform. SCHWEET!! Now all I have to do is learn to tie my own flies--no small feat! Suggestions are greatly encouraged! The kit is pretty cool and it comes with a vise and a variety of materials to get started. Now if I could only find the time! I'll let you know how it goes.
