Atticus Finch

I’m taking a short sabbatical. It’s time for the Taylor & Rapp annual partnership retreat.

Every year the lawyers in my office make a retreat to Almont, Colorado, for some fly-fishing, mountain-bike-riding, beer-drinking, and some rest & relaxation–and a partnership meeting (just to keep the IRS happy). Almont, Colorado is really just an intersection half-way between Gunnison and Crested Butte, but it has some interesting history. In 1940, presidential nominee Wendell Wilkie, along with 10,000 guests, visited the Almont fish-fry to kick-off his campaign. It turns out that Almont is a great place for a fish-fry. But not such a great place to kick-off a presidential campaign.

Anyway, I won’t be posting much this week (and I’ll be in trial soon after I return).

But here’s a picture of one spot where I fished:

The Taylor River

Here’s one of my fish:

A beautiful brown trout

Our regularly scheduled program will return soon.

Tight lines!
