That's what I thought the book's title said, at last night glance, with the burbon pouring and kids all squealing and yapping. "Dang," I thought, "A &*^^%$# intervention gift!" Turns out to be the classic John Graves - Goodbye to a River. And it's a signed copy too, which is pretty cool except for the exact match to my brother's hand writing. He's a good enough brother tho... and it was him that gave the gift. I gave him a passle of fly rod poppers I got at an estate sale. I labeled them "Dead Guy Poppers". 
Unless you are wearing a grass skirt and sleeping in a ditch and eating only road kill, you too are part of 'the problem'.

 "Goodbye to a liver" would make a great title to some of the river trips some of us have been on. You're brother gave you a great gift. My wife gave me "Texas Rivers" and "The Hill Country" by Graves and Wyman Meinzer. I don't get the "dead guy poppers" joke though. But I'm kinda slow and old. Wish I was out on the river now, even in this weather. A bottle of bourbon would even things out.

estate sales liquidate, sometimes, the various and less coveted property of deceased people. aka 'dead guys'
