I’m trying to do a better job of keeping up with folks now, although I haven’t been able to write as much as I would like. Are you on “the Facebook?” Sadly, that’s as close as I get most days to interacting with real people.

And she can fish some too if she wants. Or maybe do some sort of float from point A to point B trip that involves camping overnight, if she doesn’t mind camping. Fish while the scenery drifts by. Or maybe you could go on a cruise that lets you fish?

If none of those sound good, my first thought was to give her dynamite. Does she like to shoot? Maybe Tannerite exploding shooting targets instead. I mean, sure, that’s almost certainly illegal, but I hear people say marriage isn’t always easy.

Just stopping by to say hi and see what you were up to!

You’re just as stubborn about this as you were about handwriting. Must have some Italian blood in ya!

Or the rod, as the case may be. If she took as many fishing lessons as I did handwriting lessons, that would satisfy me.

Perhaps, in her world, she gave it her best shot – just as someone we both know and love who was once involved in handwriting lessons felt when they believed they were giving it their best shot. Perception is in the eye of the individual. Don’t you agree?

It is very difficult to create the optimum environment for and if one could, then they would be the guides’ guide. I could sympathize with her if she had endured a similar fishing expedition to the one you persuaded me to take. But the banner at the top really brings back memories and I for one hope to see a future article along with ice-breaking/duck hunting 2010-2011????

Kind Regards,

What I won’t tolerate is excuses. Whether it’s fishing or handwriting, don’t say you can’t do it until you’ve put forth some effort. The spa sounds great. Nothing better than a massage after a day of surfcasting.

Maybe you should just accept her stance as a fact of life and move on. Why not blow off the challenge of getting her to love fishing as much as you do and just take her to a spa? She’d love it!
