And with that, I’m out of here. Tomorrow through Friday I’ll be leaving you in the capable hands of my colleagues. <\/p>\n

Bright and early – for me, anyway – my Dad and I will be driving 250 some odd miles north up The County<\/a> to the Libby Camps<\/a>, where we’ll spend three days fishing. In between the thunderstorms<\/a> that are predictably arriving with me, of course. <\/p>\n

We’ll be fishing for the regular bass and trout, and in a new one for me, landlocked salmon. Given that the area is remote enough that the nearest two stores are a.) a 45 minute ride along a dirt track, and b.) a 1 day trip by canoe away, we’re hopeful that our chances of landing fish are better than they would be, say, here. But we shall see. <\/p>\n

As you might expect, while no one’s confirmed this for me, I expect precisely zero connectivity once onsite, so don’t sweat the lack of communications. No need to send out search parties; unless we don’t make it back to the lodge at night, in which case send out search parties. <\/p>\n

Provided I’m not trampled by a moose, robbed by Canadians, struck by lightning, or eaten by a bear, I’ll be back with all of you this weekend – Monday at the latest – boring everyone with pictures of fish. Mine, my Dad’s, the guys at the lodge’s. Whatever. <\/p>\n

Be good while I’m gone. And tell the Red Sox we need a better effort than we saw tonight. I don’t want to drop any more to Philly. <\/p>\n

P.S. Thanks for the trip, Mom. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
