FishinLoRes
"Just Fishin' " by Wes Aldridge

Fishin'. So many old memories. So many parallels with this old man and me. A great story I wanted to tell you, but things got in the way of the process. I failed at that tonight.

Something needs to change. It all needs to go back to the river side with a fishing pole in hand. Simple.

Ahhh. Reminds me of being a boy in the fiords with Helga as we gazed upon dangling oranges on a Sunday afternoon. Makes me want a chicken biscuit.
Sincerely,
