In my last job, I worked a lot of hours but was on the road a lot. I could schedule myself to finish up my day down the Cape and head out during the week a lot.

Now I work less hours, but am almost always in the office so it's tougher to head out after work. I get home, go for a quick run, hang out with the family and get my kid to bed. By then, I've usually lost the motivation to drive 45 minutes to fish. One good thing is that I can sneak away from time to time and no one cares as long as I'm caught up. Today, I'm leaving at 11 to go down the Cape and head out on the boat to chase some funny fish and hopefully find some bass.

This year was tough for me fishing wise. I didn't get out nearly as much as I would have liked. Sometimes life just gets in the way. It does make me appreciate each and every time I do get out, though.

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
