but i think if one were to look up the definition of obsess "to haunt or excessively preoccupy the mind"...we are all clearly obsessed!!!!!

Thanks, but I gotta say - I'M GLAD YOU'RE NOT MY DOCTOR

To ALL

Thanks very much for the "support". I needed to read how others deal with this problem we all have

Last night was one of those nights that, if it were last year, I would have just said f this, I'm too freakin' tired. A long night with the wifey before made for a sleepy Monday morning. Then a tough day at work. THEN it took forever to get the boys to bed (how many times can a 5 year old have to pee?) Anyway, I'm lying on the couch in the family room, wanting to go fishing but at the same time I am WIPED OUT from the day with all the insanity. So, my wife says, "I thought you were going fishing?" to which I reply "Nah, I really do wanna go but I'm beat". She then says "Just get up and go! Don't over-analyze it! Just get up. What, you have to just throw waders, a bag, belt, hat and rod in the car, right? How long could that take"? I was amazed ! So, I got off my sorry arse, went to the camper and grabbed my gear, loaded it into my "sneak car" (didn't need a truck last night) and just went. In minutes after leaving home I felt refreshed and alert. I arrived at my spot feeling good that I went. The fishing wasn't that great (only 3 shorts) but it beat sitting at home feeling sorry for myself!

my last job... had a back river right behind it. i would bring my gear to work.. and when i went out for a "smoke break" i would be back there fishing till i finished my smoke.. took a lot of smoke breaks at high tide.. if i was workin alone on a slow night i could manage to fish between costumers, cause i could cast from about 15 ft back and still the front of the store..

what a gig that was..
