Every time I turn around now, it seems I am being told that I am too old. Even my only sister said to me this past week, “Stevie, you are too old.” When this happens, it is time to start closing some loopholes in your life. I need of serious operation, but six surgeons — none of whom wants to […]

Memories made, lessons learned

As I watched wind blow, the snow fly and the temperature fall last week I thought to myself, “There used to be a time when it never got too cold, the weather never go too bad, and the hunt went on.” I have been taught, and rightly so, with age comes wisdom, I now agree wholeheartedly.
