Can be?! Go out to dinner sometime with him. Between the still alive hunk of cow he ate, the eggnog he smuggled in at the steakhouse and then ordered some sort of liquor for, and the harassment the waitress withstood, I was in tears all night long. He's a character.
That was a long night. Stuck in Marlborough at the Fly Fishing Show during the Blizzard of '05. First Light Anglers, Skok, Boyle, The Saltwater Edge, the Bears Den, and Gartside at a Steakhouse and then the hotel bar the rest of the night. All the youngest fly fishers left in the industry plus Gartside. That guy is still a kid at heart. Probably my favorite Fly Fishing Show memory. Lots of stories from that night...
