Mooseheads and prime rib

We just got back from the Sportsman of the Year banquet at the Vashon Sportsmans Club. No tofu in sight, just bloody juicy rare prime rib and all the good stuff that goes with it. I love the Club - it's the real deal. Mooseheads on the massive timbered walls, trophies, a roaring fireplace and plenty of whiskey drinking good ole boys. I have a lot of fond and blurry memories from nights at the Club - dancing to the Doiley Brothers in high school, assorted weddings and funerals, New Year's Eve parties with Loose Change, and the annual banquet, where they honor a long standing sportsman - Ed Babcock, a 41 year member, won the honors this year. Oh yeah, and Todd Gateman got Vermin Exterminator of the Year. It's a long story.
