This week while Trixie and I were fishing in the high meadows surrounding the San Luis Valley, I was reminded again how she was able to snag Ol' Dutch.

It all started so innocently three summers ago when as friends, we got so far afield that the call of nature came calling and the only facilities available was a tree in the forest. Having been married o a woman who only answered those calls on a porcelain throne, Trixie's ability to "get 'er done" while afield quickly caught my eye. Having said that, I wish now I hadn't as that just doesn't sound right. But, you all know what I mean anyway.

But regardless, it did allow us to spend more time together and that led to, well, more time together.
