You probably don’t need this outdoor scribe to tell you its summertime in Texas and its HOT! What do we outdoor types do when mid day temperatures are hot enough to blacken a striper fillet on the sidewalk or cook a berry cobbler in a Dutch oven without any coals! I take a cue from wildlife and move early and late and do my best to seek shade during the middle of the day! Thankfully I’m an early riser. I’m usually up well before sunup and if I have anything outdoor related on the agenda I make sure I am on the water at first light or in the woods during the ‘cool’ part of the morning. By 10 a.m. I can be found in my truck heading home with the ac on high or in a cool café with my buddies discussing the big bass we lost that morning or possibly how we’re going to cook that fresh pork that is chilling in the cooler in the truck. I save my ‘work’ for mid day when I can often be found inside hammering out a magazine article or possibly recording segments for the current radio show.

When someone has a true passion for any endeavor, it’s next to impossible to restrain the desire to become actively involved in whatever it is that fuels the passion.
