Dinner time …

Captain Dan filets the mackerel we caught during a fishing trip to Tampa Bay recently. Wes, Rusty and I chartered a boat out of St. Pete, and Captain Dan treated us to a great trip. In addition to the mackerel, we caught a bunch of grouper that were too small to keep but still were fun to reel in. It also was great to spend a day out on the water. Nothing does a better job of clearing your head …

We cooked the mackerel for dinner that night, preparing them several different ways. And Wes created a gumbo that was a work of art.

The places in between …

I was in the Atlanta airport not too long ago when I saw a woman wearing a hijab herding several children onto the train at the A gates. She had definitely drawn attention, with looks ranging from hostile to curious. I caught myself staring, too, grappling with stereotypes and conflicting emotions.

Autumn swoops into Tennessee

I’ve been traveling a lot lately and haven’t run the dogs at the lake for several weeks. Perhaps the wait made this morning one of our best jaunts to Melton Hill in a while.
