Astros pitcher LaTroy Hawkins recently hosted his second charity event to benefit LifeLine Youth and Family Services.
Nicholas got his first buck. He was hunting with my brother-in-law, Russ Campbell, when, late in the day, just about the time they were thinking abut packing it in, a nice buck came into their area.

I think one of the biggest mistakes most anglers make is that they carry too much tackle with them in the boat.
As many of you know I cut my beard for my wedding to Becky. (Actually she cut it for me, but who wants to get technical?) Now we're going to auction it for charity. The bidding will be on eBay, and should start shortly.
