Uncle's Farm

My uncle owns a farm on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. I went on my first duck hunt there in the mid-1990s, its a neat place. My uncle got me started in the trading business by generously finding me (dumb college kid) a summer job in 1987 and letting me live in his house. It hasn't always been a smooth ride but its worked out pretty well.

Nice article in today's paper

I'm not a fan of the New York Times editorial page but a couple of times a year they have a constructive article on shooting/hunting in the sports page. See here.
