If there are unsung heroes among Wetherell on Writing subscribers, it’s those of you who love fly-fishing, and have been very patient and loyal in following my columns focused on books, writing, and literature.
Well worth the wait for a fly-fishing column, Walter. What a terrific reflection on the gift of neighbors, even those we seldom see or fail to know well. And this is a splendid line: "...donut-loving boys, set afloat on a lake of crullers, wouldn’t have been so giddy." Happy New Year!
Thank you, Adam. The thing I like about fly fishing essays is that you can slip in something that doesn't have much to do with fly fishing! So it hopefully does make its point about human connection, how the ties that bind us together can sometimes take a while to be revealed, often in totally unexpected ways....
