Friday's 13 Pound Silver Salmon

By -
This is the 13 pound Silver Salmon that I mentioned in the previous post. There will be plenty of fish dinners to come at the Uselton house in the upcoming weeks and months, that is for sure.

Sunday Morning In Alaska

This is what we did yesterday. We spent 10 hours in an airplane. From left to right is Jordan, and our hosts Mailise & Phil Widlanski (I promise I will post a better picture of you all very soon). Considering the amount of time we spent in the air we all arrived in pretty good shape. It was 7 pm Anchorage time when we landed. Getting baggage and rental cars, the whole group of us (11 total with one more yet to come) checked in to a hotel. We then made our way to "Club Paris", a 50 year old establishment in downtown Anchorage for a fantastic evening of food, drink and lively conversation. A very fine evening it was as we finished up around midnight and it was not yet completely dark. Remember, EDT we are 4 hours behind and 3 for CDT. This morning we pack up, pick up a few things (fishing licenses most notable) and head for the lodge in Ninilchick. Today is actually not a fishing day as we will journey 4-5 hours down the Kenai Peninsula where I am told an outstanding dinner...

Last Day In Tennessee

Tomorrow I leave for NYC. You already know from a previous post what I'll be doing tomorrow night. So I decided to post a picture of the woman that I will leave behind, a real beauty, a great sport (she has not complained once that she's not going), and my wife of 32 years - the one and only Sheila. Maybe one day I will make a second trip and the two of us can go together, after all, she is the daughter of Henry Tippins - one of the world's greatest fishermen. She is the love of my life.

Jordan the Fisherman!

This is Jordan and Lydia, his fiance. I am his dad. We're going fishing. Jordan and Lydia are getting married very soon and Sheila, Tom & Memrie (Lydia's parents) and I are as happy as we can be. Now this is one good looking and obviously very happy couple. I am going to tell you a few things about Jordan. He is an actor, a singer, a dancer, a waiter, a basketball ball player (plays for the Chardonnays), a baseball player, a football player (one heck of a defensive end I must say), he once was a long distance runner, and he is an outdoors man - a fisherman. So, we're going fishing. That's what fishermen do. Jordan takes care of things. He is thoughtful, considerate, and for the most part compassionate. He is 26 years old. Jordan also does a very good Chris Farley imitation of the SNL motivational guy - Matt Foley - that "lives in a van down by the river". I could tell you so many things about this fellow but I have been selective as I don't want to emb...
