In a previous blog post, I mentioned that I’d spent the last week of April sequestered at a resort in the Poconos area of PA for a training class in Cisco Switching and Routing (for computer networks) after which I passed both required exams to earn my CCNA certification. The certificate finally arrived in my email late last week…

To reward myself, I decided it was high time for a day on the water with the rod and reel. Since I have to spend my afternoon migrating software from one server to another, I only had a few hours to spare at nearby Beltzville Lake in Lehighton, PA. After losing a few smaller pickerel and bass early in the day, my last few casts produced the beauties below. All told, it was a perfect—and much-needed—day out.
Now back to work.
