The Connecticut Yankee has been here in one form or another since 2008. It's been great to share many memorable outdoor experiences with others, but this blog also allows me to look back on trips that I may have otherwise forgotten about years down the road. Over the last few months, I have been posting much less but it is all for positive reasons. Big things have been happening in life that have cut down my time on the water and, to a greater extent, my time documenting it.
For the better part of three decades, I have had little in the way of any real responsibilities, which has allowed me to fish my tail off and blog about it. Now with a new house, job, grad school and, most importantly, a new family member on the way, some of things that I used to take for granted have taken a back seat, and it is all good.
I am a very lucky man. Fishing, writing and photography have filled me with lifelong memories, introduced me to amazing characters and brought me to incredible places. By no means am I hanging up the rod, reel or camera. I will be sure to make time to hit the stream, beach, and ice, but finding time to share those trips online won't be getting any easier. I will post here when I can, but, in the meanwhile, thanks for the good run.

ReplyDeleteThat new addition to the family will be your focus, and you'll love every minute of it.

Thanks, Ben. I'm still posting when I can. Appreciate you coming along for the ride.
DeleteThere will always be time pursue your passions. Those passions tend to morph and change with responsibilities and new priorities but always come full circle. The time you spend now setting up a household and starting a family is an investment that can pay itself back many many times over in the future. Imagine have 2 or more full time fishing partners right in the next room or next town over for the next oh say 60 years. Sharing your knowledge with the next generation can be even more rewarding than going out and doing the catching yourself. Good luck K!!!! Always seat in my lithic hunting trips if ya just need to get away for a few hours. Paul D.

DeleteK,
ReplyDeletewelcome to the club, it's a different journey but one well worth it. You definitely will still get some water time, just not as much as you once did, but, you will find that once your responsibilities and family grows, you really appreciate those times you get out there a little more. Good luck with everything!
Wise words my man. Thanks, Rich.
DeletePriorities first! I have been checking in with the blog for the last 8 months or so and have enjoyed the photos. Congratulations on the new addition to the family!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Scott. I appreciate you following along on the blog.
