here fishy fishy fishy!


fishing evokes such peaceful mental visuals. maybe it's just me, but unless you are in alaska flinging fish into a boat by the buttload, it's pretty mellow. unfortunately the "gone fishing" sign can't be used in today's society where people expect their needs to be met immediately. i think we should bring it back. make it our mantra. "GONE FISHING" "GONE FISHING" just keep repeating it while breathing deeply.

today, mama rj and i went fishing. and i get it. we used bright sparkly lures, packed a tuna fish and cheese and cracker lunch, went down to the river side and fished. at first the lures got caught in the underwater stuff and nearby trees but then we wisely moved to the miniature makeshift pier.

there was girl talk, it was cathartic and beautiful. the sun was shining and we could see deep into the clear blue blue blue water. unfortunately we didn't see any fish swimming after our lure, or any fish at all for that matter. yeah, we didn't catch any either.

i still loved it. "gone fishing"
