My mother was a superstitious woman. It was a trait that I’m sure she picker up from her Grandmother. Don’t put that loaf of bread away upside down, it means there will be a fight! Ringing in your ears, that means someone is talking about you behind your back! Itchy palm meant money coming or going (I forget which hand meant which).

After eating, I hopped into the shower, threw on some clothes, and began the short drive over to Stowe Archers. At 4:45am, with bow in hand, I began to creep into the woods behind the clubhouse. I located my tree-stand, which I left in the woods the night before, and began to climb. Once situated, I eased …
Today I did something that I haven’t done in a long while. I called out of work. It all started last night. About an hour after dinner I began to develop a headache.
