JOHN MERWIN (1946-2013) embraced fishing, looking across a stream or out a window, thinking, musing and writing.Neighbors and acquaintances, mostly unaware of John's legendary angling prominence, looked forward to his columns in Stratton Magazine, 1989 to 2006. Laced with droll countryman wit, dozens expound on rural Vermont life. More or less. As his editor, Marsha Norman, once teased,"He said all his stories are true stories. Mostly."At deadline with manuscript absent-Marsha occasionally ran a reprint and captioned, "John Merwin is on vacation." Not so. Instead, in those years he was fishing editor at Field & Stream magazine--too much to do and too little time. But even then, as F&S colleague and friend Dave Hurteau remembers in the foreword, "No Fishing" (i.e., musing) was just as important to John as fishing.While not fishing John had made time to write these Stratton columns. Missing him and his stories, readers and anglers asked for this collection, and kept asking.... So here it is: No Fishing.

It is certain that many a truth is spoken in jest. It is also true that humor often hides the most important lessons we seek. And yes, laughter is incredibly healing. These principles helped guide me while writing "Angel Karma Strikes Again" - a collection of laugh-out-loud short stories about our human foibles.These stories compile a myriad of hilarious true experiences from within the beauty business. Each story pertains to us on some level in that whatever we dwell on we will continue to attract. For in life there is no substitute for experience. It is only in our experiences we really learn and come to know life's important lessons. The question is how do we recognize them? We usually try to forget traumatic / embarrassing events by burying them deep inside our memory. Unfortunately we bury important life lessons along with them.
