Okay, time for the Dutch Uncle Talk.

Ya know, I saw your aunt a coupla days ago and told her that given the way you've been studying and working if you're not careful you're gonna ruin a great opportunity to become a sportfisherman of some note

Before you know it, you'll have a mortgage, children and a job of some importance - basically what Zorba the Greek called "the whole calamity".

Don't put off having an unreasonable amount of fun - the older you get, the tougher it is to do with growing responsibilities.

Harumph....apparently, I'm watching waaaay too much CNBC and MSNBC while I work in the office.

Well, that and talking to Mrs Crafty over coffee yesterday morning. We both agreed that we're absolutely delighted that we pi$$ed away an awful lot of money having fun instead of investing it in retirement funds - we wouldn't have those monies at our disposal today if we had and wouldn't have all the great memories of time well-spent with friends.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph... it seems it's not taking much to set Uncle Crafty off today

Anyway....sorry to hear you're not gonna be able to do the tourney, Bry - maybe you, me and piemma can get together for a little blackfishing at some point when the weather cools

I'm gonna take my toggin' seriously this year - and I mean to re-take the NCSWFC Tautog trophy for 2008

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
