By the time I can visit you won't be in VT anymore....That's why we can spend quality time in Toga this summer with the crew.

Here in the Catskills it's plenty cold today. But the firewood is all cut and split and the fireplace is roaring. Maple syrup (sugarin' time) will be here soon enough.
Where are you in NJ, Randall?

I really do like it in New England, but I worry there isn't much to do sometimes. If I was married, it would be an easier move.

Morris county is very nice. I have fond memories of a young lady that lived in Morristown. Some of my family live in Short Hills, Mountain Lakes, and my brother lives in Paramus (Bergen county).

I'm 5 minutes from Mountain Lakes, go running in a park that borders it.....Any hot female cousins down there?

you described hunting, and the lack of 'joy', very well.

when they have babies those are some scary birds!!! I had a momma chase around my horses one day because she was out in their field with her little guys that couldn't fly yet to get over the fence...I had to herd her out with the boss's range rover

My cousins are all grown up, and married.
My aunt and uncle live in Mountain Lakes, both semi retired, though she still teaches a math course or two at Montclair State. (also campus chaplain)
The lake in her backyard is full of huge largemouth bass that everyone is too busy comuting to Wall Street to fish for. Beautiful place!

there have been quite a few confrontations in the news over the last couple years between turkeys and humans. one lady couldnt get in her car, turkey chased her around it--her friends got quite a kick out of it. but the males have some vicious spurs, they can do some damage.

Danzig,
If you ever find your way to the Catskills in May, I'd be more than pleased to call in a gobbler for you.
Hunting starts two hours before sun up and ends at noon...then the fly fishing on the West Branch of the Delaware. Big browns.
Life can indeed be very good.
Toga won't be running yet, but the horses at the farm are nearby, and some will have shipped in to start training at Toga ( about an hour away).

Sounds like a plan...I'm not sure of the opening date for Belmont, but if you come in late May, you might find a very good time.
Belmont is about two and half hours away.

Danzig · #**178** 02-03-2007, 04:46 PM

well, a couple of years, the last of my chicks will be out of the nest, so we won't have to schedule around school. not that tony and i are counting the days or anything!

Well, whenever the time comes.
The door is always open.
File it for later.
May is what we get to savor after going through a cold early Feb.
Not that I'm complaining.
Early June is pretty nice too...the Belmont day...
Do I sound like I have "cabin fever"?
Maybe Genuine Risk will meet up with us when your schedule permits.

you can't buy venison in the store.

what i don't understand is:

if i go to the store, and buy meat someone else killed and eat it-that's ok.
but if i kill it, and then eat it, i'm disgusting and morally corrupt? i guess since someone else did the dirty work?

as for your comparison to opera, theatre etc...i was thinking more along the line of activities that some enjoy, while others don't and make moral judgements about. horse racing and gambling for instance. i can't recall anyone saying oh opera, i hate it--those singers are corrupt. but i have heard those arguments, and similar, regarding racing. oh those poor animals, how cruel. or the line a boy said to my daughter the other day when she mentioned barbaro had died. OH. horse racing. we're GOOD CHRISTIANS, we don't believe in gambling. so, he just pretty much summed her up as being a bad person, because she felt bad about barbaro.

Huh?! If you eat the meat, then it's not hunting for the sake of hunting..

You're morally corrupt if you kill something for sport.

You totally missed every point I made. What else is new..

I brought up opera and theater and the like because I felt like Somer was saying that I was dissing hunting just because I didn't understand it. I said I don't understand opera or theater, but I don't attack it. Hunting is different, because it's morally disgusting.
