How do you fix this?

yep three cycles

the germination

the growth

the flowering

then termination... to begin again

I think I've found a possible solution. All I have to do is wait until I feel safe or comfortable enough to put the little guy on the rocks with a rod in his hand, and then maybe I can relive or revive some of those desires that remain dormant inside of me.

That's when again, this thing called balance or more like sacrifice comes into play. I know I won't be chasing Stripes all night then taking the little guy early morning scuppin', toggin, flukin', etc//etc/...somethings gotta give, and I'm sure It'll be me. ,, I knew I'd be making sacrifices when visions of dirty-diapers were still but a twinkle in me eye, but I guess I never looked this deep into it. Sometimes I wish I was the type of father who cared less about being involved as much, and just let the mother pick up my slack...but I just can't.
I laugh to,,, or rather at myself when I think about all the juggling I had to do last year just to fish when I did...and I thank my friends who waited around while I wrapped up daddy-duties for the night.

Although Ross.........perhaps a boat is more of a complete answer.

You read like one of those men who are actually an adult also. At certain times of your life you have to realize it's not all about you.

Take him trout fishing with you, it's easy.
I used to do that with Danny since he was a baby, I'd let the wife sleep late and I would get up to do the feeding, then off to the pond for a few hours, back home for breakfast then get to the home improvements around the house. That was my weekend routine for years when they were young.
if he's old enough for sunnies, it won't be long before largemouth.
I am not sure you need to fix anything, is something broke? You have the right attitude.
Enjoy what you have!

Hey Gilly - great post brother, can relate 100%. Here's a little something to look forward to in the winter. Last Saturday, I coached my son's hockey practice for the first time and Monday we went to the Bruins game. I still love to fish, but quality time with The Boy is different. You will be there before you know it.

Now, how does MV over Memorial Day weekend sound?
