Had the great opportunity today to go trout fishing with my old college friend Jan Mudder near Silver City...great day! Jan and I lived on the same floor in Julian Hall during our freshman year at USD. Jan has gone on to teach in Kabul, Afghanistan; Kazakhstan and is currently teaching near Shenzhen, China with his wife and kids.

Fishing was good, the weather was great and the conversations were excellent.
