Carol reports that as she was jogging this morning, on the bike path by the canal she saw a boy, about nine years old, standing on the bank, fishing pole in hand, tackle box by his feet, silently waiting for a bite. Carol wondered, "Just what is he using for bait? A kernal of corn? A tiny ball of bread?" Sigh.
who does this remind us of?
ReplyDeleteWell, it reminds us of Walter. He used to spend hours by the canal, often with our neighbor, Jason, fishing. I think they generally were using either corn kernels or balls of bread for their bait.
ReplyDeleteI was guessing walter, but I wasn't sure. Mainly, I was guessing walter, because I couldn't imagine Macon standing still that long.
ReplyDeleteand bacon and hot dogs. and the fishing lures we carved and painted.
