An apology

After sitting around the fire last night and contemplating my situation I've come to realize that I've come off as a complete ass on occasion.I've been under a large amount of pressure at work and I know I shouldn't let something like work do this to me.And I have to except the fact that my dad isn't getting any younger and he probably won't be getting any better and its up to me to do what I can as I can't count on my more or less useless brother to help out.And the recent household issues haven't helped either.I didn't even see May pass by.I haven't fished in almost a month.

These are not excuses just reasons.If I've offended anyone here or in the outside world I really do apoligize.

I need to fish and I need a freakin' vacation.

Wow, I have to work really hard to come off as an ass so frequently. I'm a bit jealous it just comes to you second nature

Compartmentalize your challenges and you will gain control. Control is a good thing.

Been there (still there, I think) done that, snapped at someone or been a total be-otch for no other reason than having way too many things going on elsewhere....it happens to most of us......just keep reflecting over the campfire from time to time and keep yourself grounded.

Simplify.......

Spence....you are more skilled than you realize! Don't sell yourself short!

BW....I have useless brothers/sister/nephew.......they do nothing also so it falls in my lap! Be the "good son" and your rewards will come! Family first! Get out when you can! I have tremendous "ass" skills.......I can turn it on and off at will! I have them in tune 75% of the time so don't feel bad!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Regardless of what is transpiring around you. Take time for yourself, if only in a small way.

Family first, just remember the kids are watching and learning. Apology? Pffft! I gave my boss one on the way out the door Thur. for showing my ass, I'll repeat it tomorrow when I get in. Stress knocks me off my best game and I cut others slack for it too. You're OK.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
