EUKANUBA SPORTING DOG - We are truly rocking and rolling this season.  Vegas blew my clients mind on a guided hunt because he just simply had NO quit.  Why is that?  Because hes getting fueled up everyday by Eukanuba Sporting Dog Premium Performance 30/20.  So go and get yourself a bag and set those New Year's resolutions to having dogs that run longer, harder, and point more intensely….courtesy of Euaknuba Sporting Dog!

More Notes

I’m reading Hemingway’s A Sun Also Rises again- talk to listeners about how Omar Mera and Cairo brought me back to that book for artistic and literary relevance.  

• This just reinforces my new interest in writing more Historical, contextual nonfiction

• Exploring what Cairo means to me- the Greek name and American translation
