With my monthly check from the fishing club comes a report of who was here fishing in the past month. I enter the daily income into a spreadsheet and I've started keeping track of who came so when I meet them in person I have an idea of how good a customer they are.

We try to get out there to say hello to the fishermen and thank them for coming to the property, but sometimes they think we are checking to make sure they have posted their authorization placard on their dashboard, so I don't rush out there every time. I notice that last month one of the guests was a former Denver area TV anchor man. He anchored the news for 38 years until he was laid off when two Denver stations merged. He saw it coming, so had gotten a community college degree to be a veterinarian assistant because since he was a kid he'd wanted to work as a vet.

It would have been nice to meet him, but just knowing he was here is good, too.

On Fox NFL Sunday show yesterday they were talking about Terrell Owens (T.O.) getting stem cell surgery in South Korea to repair his ACL. Here is how they described it: "You know when Peyton Manning had it and they took stem cells from his stomach fat, but T.O. said he didn't have any stomach fat, so they would have to take it from his butt. They sucked it out, and about 30 minutes later they injected it in his knee, and 3 or 4 weeks later he was running patterns."

I don't know how common this procedure is, or whether it is covered by insurance, but if I was contemplating a knee replacement, I think I'd look into this first.
