Gone Fishing Stories
Getting a group of fishermen together on a nice saturday morning is kind of like throwing a party for introverts. It’s hard to get people to show up.

A Distracted Mind
I get distracted easily. Well I really don’t, but my mind wanders into every nook and cranny around. Once in awhile my mind goes off on an imaginary journey if I don’t keep it on a short leash.
