One turning 1

Wow, I almost missed the day. I knew that I started this project about a year ago and only realized over the weekend that August 16th would mark 1 year of The Weary Angler.

Looking back over some of the entries, especially the early ones, before I had any direction, I am reminded of so many other events that occurred over this time period. I was never much of a journal person growing up and didn't often write stuff down. I guess I've found it much easier to sit in my office, at home, and take some time to reflect on things I choose to blog about on a regular basis.

I thank all of you who have stopped by and to those of have commented on posts over this past year. I'm starting to consider what I would like to blog to become as I enter year 2. With the low water and warm temperatures of late, I haven't had much of an opportunity to fish as is evidenced by the lack of entries. I have however, had many thoughts that might have made for some good reading had I decided to sit down at whack away at the keyboard.

I've decided these next 12 months will be about everything and anything. Whatever strikes me at any given time may become fodder for the blog. Fishing will still remain a primary focus however, I hope to incorporate more gear reviews, travel stories, family exploits and commentary on daily life.

So, thanks again for stopping by and I hope you continue to visit and enjoy the trials and tribulations of The Weary Angler.

  1. Congratulations Steve on year one. It's always fun to look back at the initial posts and see how your writing has changed. Wait until year 3 or 4 and then look back. It's a mind blower.

  5. So. Now you're entering my territory!

    Never have a battle of wit with an unarmed man.

    When you hit the 3rd Rail, then, and only then, will I pass the mantle to you.

    Congrats, and good luck. It's tough to keep this up daily.
