The storm of the last few days is finally loosening its grip on us. We have over 5 inches of rain and some incredible wind. We were without power like many in the area for a day and a half. We are truly fortunate because we heat with a woodstove and it still works even without electricity. The new Jotul 118 definitely proved that it is worth having around as we were warm throughout.
Yes it's true that was me. I appeared in the Parade Magazine What people earn piece last weekend on page 4. 
Don Kleiner, 51 Lobbyist Union, Maine Because I have clients all over the country who saw the piece I received many great e-mails and phone calls. My favorite comment was “Underpaid, but famous.” I plan to use that one for quite some time!
I called Libby Camps to talk about my October plans for guiding there and learned that they were selected "Orvis Fly Fishing Lodge of the year" for 2006 at the Orvis Rendezvous on April 4th, in Warm Springs Virginia . The Libby Family and crew were honored with the distinction. The award is given to the most outstanding lodge of all of the Orvis lodges in North America. I am proud to be working with such great folks and am pleased to see them recognized for their outstanding operation. Congratulations Matt and Ellen and Matt Jr.
