redemption comes at 3:20

We went fishing yesterday with my cousins and uncle, and the fish managed to stay far away from my line until 3:20pm. I went clear until mid-afternoon before I even had a nibble, and it was no small bash to my manhood to see those around me bringing 'em in left and right.

(this is the beautiful lake we visited yesterday)

But my brother and I were undeterred, and at 3:20pm, while riding in a canoe, we had our first strike. We were so happy, we named the fish Andy.

It was another hour before I caught my next fish, and this one we named McNugget. It was a keeper.

the question is... where are those fish now? are they to become pets or supper/dinner? my vote is for them to live in a large fish tank in your living room. or in the bathtub.

hey when are you coming back here to DC?

If I hold them in the bathtub, then that means you would like me to smell like fish every time you see me. Sorry, but I don't think you like Andy that much.

And chandster, I am home. Got home last night.

one time when i was little, we caught some fish in my grandpa's pond. i tried to talk my parents into letting us keep them in the humidifier in the hallway. you know, pet fish. swimming in the humidifier.
