A breed apart, we are.
It used to be a father son thing. Fishing together, maybe hunting, and then taking kids to a sporting event. Much of this has changed because of many reasons, which I am not going to write about.. We all knows the many reasons why this has come about. I think we at least here are somewhat of a breed apart. I don't know of any group that endeavours to enjoy fishing the way the S-B.comers do. I know my brother Squid Kids Dad a an intensity about his fishing interest much the same as I do. Here it is the off-season, but still anywhare I go in my house I'll see something fishing. The most current Lou Tabory book next to the easy chair. A handful of flies just about everywhere. Down celler, well, nothing needs to be said about the celler. Hell I am even thinking about starting to sell my baseball card collection piecemeal on EBAY to finance my Kayak purchase. People everywhere I go, coffeeshop, work, downtown, hardware store, stop and talk fishing to me because they know that it is what I am, who I am. Not that I am one dimensional surely I'm not, but fishing is what relaxes me. It makes up such a large part of my existence, like it makes up everyone existence here, that thinking about fishing makes everyday easier. Fishing had me at hello!
