The Phoenix weekend has come and gone and I have to believe it will be a while before I forget all the action we shared together.  For those of you that had to miss the party, you missed a good one.  I counted over 20 JNFL members on hand for the action.  Heck, we had a couple drive all the way from Rhode Island just to pop in and say hi.

   For starters, Saturday was easily the best spring day we have seen yet.  June and I had a blast working around the house, playing in the garden and running back and forth to Home Depot.  With about two hours to go before the race started, the phone started to ring.  Now that we are in the season pretty far it seems that everyone knows how to make a pick on the website so everything went really smooth.  A few people failed to call that always do, most notably Steve and Spencer Jones, Charlie and Canute.  The last two fellows called in on Sunday to apologize, the were in the mountains fishing for trout and completely forgot.  Canute is on the internet now and was able to shoot me an apology over the internet too.  Here is what he said:

   "sorry fishing 'cellphone don't work in mountains.thanks for headsup callto wife.  thank god for backup drivers. anyhoo scaner took a dump on me can't send ya picture of granddaughter see ya soon toshow her picture too youzxzzzzs.
