I’m Not a Good Roommate.
“It’s nice to be back here, even if only for a week.” I got up around 3am this morning. I didn’t have anything to do, or anywhere to go; I love waking up early. As per my usual, I got up, took a shower, shaved, got dressed, made my bed and headed to the store […]
The Pee Pee Dance.
I’ve not posted anything in the past week. I’ve been distracted with my departure and going through a bad case of the “pee pee dance.” Have you ever needed to go to the bathroom while driving, but decide to try and get home first? Somehow, you’re able to hold it in, but, for whatever reason, […]
Best Day Fishing so far
“Really? You’re really going to use that clickbait title? Well, yeah, because it was my best day fishing so far.” Similar to most weekends, I got up, got ready and headed out the door straight to the store for my blah blah blah. “Wow you really feel the need to tell everyone about you going […]
Final Trip to the Preserve
Sheesh! This van is really dirty. The dash is disgusting. Uggh! I don’t want to drive twenty miles to a carwash. Damnit, fine!” With all the on and off thunderstorms, my van managed to build up quite a bit of dirt. It was so dirty, the windshield needed a cleaning far beyond what a gas […]
A Fight with a Trout
There is something mesmerizing about watching a fly fisherman gracefully sail a fly through the air and watching it land so subtly that it doesn’t even cause a ripple in the most still of waters. There is an art form to it, undoubtedly. And I can see why some regard fly fishing as a high […]
A Nice 17″-18″ Brown Trout
“Ugh! I feel drowsy. I slept way too many hours.” After getting home Saturday morning at 5am and only sleeping three hours because I had to go to the yard, my body and brain were fried. By 3:30pm yesterday, I struggled to keep my eyes open. My body simply was shutting down. By 4:30pm I […]
A 4th of July Story
“Okay you crazy rooster. Today I looked forward to your crowing.” As usual, my live alarm was well and kicking. One thing is for sure, that Rooster knows how to keep time. It also seems to have a snooze function, because after its first series of crows, it will stop for a little while and […]
Social Media is Not for Me.
“Bro, you should have an instagram page,” my friend at work said to me. “Nope! Not going to happen. Nothing screams narcissism like a social media page. The idea of posting something and then checking to see how many likes and comments you have is sickening and disturbing. How little must one think of themselves […]
Catching Cutthroat
“Will you please stop! It’s too early… Ugh!” Normally I’m okay with it, but I didn’t get off of work until late last night. “Can someone please get that rooster to stop?” This being a holiday weekend, my radar was homed in on fishing. “What else is new?” I was planning on hitting the river […]
Thinking About 1776
On what is the beginning of this fourth of July weekend, I sit here staring into the yonder, pondering on how far we’ve come from where we were and where we’re headed. As I draw comparisons of where I’m at to where I come from, it’s hard to ignore the vast differences. Here, there is […]
