Flaptail, if you decide not to spend as much time fishing as in the past, I hope you devote more time to writing. I love reading your older stories about fishing experiences on the Cape. You have a great way of making the reader picture exactly what you are describing. Each winter, I go back and read your Monomoy piece from the OTW compilation and I enjoy it just as much each time. You have a real talent.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

After reading this thread over, I've come to realize that I may have contracted Mac-NewellGuy's Disease.*- A realizition that I have other pressing responsibilities and tasks to be done.
One day I woke up to find my house is in need of attention, my yard is knee high, my garage has fallen down, and on and on. I have so much to do and only so little time.
That coupled with my dental health episode, I had a dentist who took x-rays but never bother look at them and now I'm paying for that too. My time is limited, I'll fish when I can as a reward for a task done here and there...
* you could look it up in JAMA, Similar Peter Pan Syndrome only curable.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

Well, I just cut the lawn for the first time in 12 days. I have fished 12 early mornings straight. I have neglected my yard, my job, my family and I don't care. After 40 odd years of chasing the striped ones I have it all in perspective. Fish when you want and everything else can wait. This year I just don't care about anything except snagging pogies and crushing bass. |
No boat, back in the suds.

I am actually taking the boat out with the intent of pursuing fish.
I haven't had the desire nor the time. I think nailing down the new job has stimulated me to actually want to fish now.
