The Night Before Christmas – D’Arbonne style
‘Twas the night before Christmas and all across the lake Only two ducks were still stirring, a hen and a drake. The yo-yo’s were hung on the boat dock with care, In hopes some big crappie would soon swim up there; The coots were nestled all snug close by the shore, They were there by … Continue reading
Robertsons Respond
There’s no way to even come close in this small space to tell the whirlwind story of what is going on around Duck Commander Phil Robertson and the controversy stirred by remarks conveying his personal Christian beliefs about marriage, sexual behavior and what the Bible clearly states about those. Believe me, I don’t intend to … Continue reading
A gift for Santa
It was a rough year of fishing for Santa Claus. In fact, it was the worst year he had ever had. Not a single fish. “Face it,” the old elf thought to himself as he trudged downstream toward his sleigh, “you’re no fisherman. Better just stick to delivering toys.” The morning had started like all … Continue reading

God Bless You! ************** CHRISTMAS in the Eifel Mountains of western Germany comes with heavy, low-hanging clouds that fill the winter air with droplets of water that freeze … Continue reading
I am secont
Real. That’s the word that is used more often than not to describe the Robertson family of Duck Dynasty fame. Well, their “real” goes deeper than duck calls and television. They are real people and the best thing about them to me is that they are willing to share their “real” life stories. And they … Continue reading
Bang for the buck…
Gotta appreciate a deer with a sense of humor… I hope you enjoyed that as much as I did. Have a good, safe weekend.
New bass strain found in D’Arbonne
Last week I wrote about a group of some of my old buddies that refer to each other as the SUMOs. One of the traits that one must exhibit to be part of the group is to be fairly large and be willing to try and eat almost anything that doesn’t eat you first. Well, … Continue reading
