Spinners, Spinners, and more Spinners

I set a goal today to try and get through as many spinner patterns as possible (given all of the studying I needed to do) and I made it to a total of 30 flies tied, which is good for me. Luckily, I have some audio lectures of pathology board reviews that I can listen to on my iPod while I'm tying, so I can feel industrious and full of multi-tasking goodness. Path is a huge subject on Step 1 of the medical liscensing exam, so it pays to hit it hard in your prep.
The nice thing about spinners is that they all kind of look alike, so I was able to stick to a simple, straightforward pattern and just crank them out. I used two clumps of Microfibbets for the tails (splayed on each side of the body), some rust colored Superfine dubbing, and a Z-lon wing tied down. They look pretty nice.
Our little man is doing quite well. He has really packed on weight and he looks like a little football to me. He has started to 'talk' to us now...he has all sorts of gurgles and cooing he likes to do when we play with him or read him a story. Tonight he even sat with me and watched me tie a few flies!
