“The problem with leading Indians is you are never quite sure if they are following or chasing you.” – Craig Johnson, Death Without Company
Some of you may recognize Mr. Johnson, the author of a series of books about the fictional exploits of a Wyoming sheriff. The series spawned the excellent television show “Longmire” which will no doubt be cancelled soon if it has not been 86ed already. I say this because the Sporting Wife and I like it about equally well, and that is the kiss of death for any program.
I chose this quote for the first post after a long absence because it describes how I feel about life at the moment. I’m trying to stay ahead of my professional and family obligations while still finding time for my hobbies and interests, and I have decided that the Indians I was once leading are now chasing me. There’s nothing for it but to keep running and hope I wind up somewhere great. Look for new posts, and I will also try to finish some of the old installment articles.

Know you’re stressed. Couple of quotes to give things new perspective. “When everything’s coming your way, you’re in the wrong lane.” and from the movie Little Big Man: Jack Crabb: ‘Mr. Merriwhether, you don’t know when you’re licked!’
Mr. Merriweather: ‘Licked? I’m not licked. I’m tarred and feathered, that’s all.’
