No Danged Luck
When I am fishing in February and March, I like water just a little bit above normal, with not so much mud in it, or floating debris. I like it green colored and gently flowing, enough so that the boat doesn’t drag on the shoals, and I want it to stay right where it is until all the walleye and bass and crappie have brought forth a good spawn. This time of year, I would rather be somewhere listening to spring peepers, intent on seeing my topwater lure slurped under and my rod bent to the breaking point by a white bass or hybrid.

Cooking with Mumzy!
Good day everyone, I hope this week’s recipes find you all in good health and happiness. For my family, we have been doing okay, I have had Covid so Robert, myself and my family have all been quarantined together for the past week and a half. Not complaining just wish that since I have to be off work, it were different circumstances so we could enjoy doing something. But at least we are all in pretty good health and we are together. I am still sane not sure how but I am. LOL. I am going to be honest it has been crazy around here with all the different symptoms that each one of us have. We have some that are the same and then each one of us have different ones. We have all continued to do little things around the house while we continue to work writing articles as we can, probably this newspaper is what has kept me together. This Covid thing is really crazy, and I will never say I understand it, but I am thankful that I am surviving it. I hope you all enjoy these recipes as much as I have enjoyed preparing them for my family and very much enjoy sharing them with all of you. As always, Remember the Little Things in Life they are very important.

The good old days on an endless loop
OK, look. I have never watched “Billions,” “Game of Thrones” or “Dancing with the Stars.” Or read one word of “Harry Potter” or “The Hunger Games.” I don’t speak DC or Marvel. I think I saw “Iron Man” once. I have tapered off the “Seinfeld” reruns, just as with “M*A*S*H” and “Gilligan’s Island” before it. The ‘90s are over, and good riddance.
The Big Sell
The big game’s a’comin’ and every year there’s a lot of talk about the commercials. Normally commercials are a thing I avoid. During a commercial break, I usually take a stroll or engage in light banter. I might fix a snack or even, on occasion, check the laundry.
That’s my job . . .
he ringtone on my cell phone for my parents for the past several years has been Conway Twitty’s song, “That’s My Job”. The song is about a man’s feelings about his dad and how he felt it was his responsibility to take care of his son as he grew up. I can barely hear the song on the radio without tearing up as I know how lucky I am to have had my parents. The beginning of the song goes, “I woke up crying late at night
