busy week and little time

sometimes events just take over and you find yourself with pretty much no time on your hands we have all been there and done it how many times have you woken up in the morning looked outside and thought what a great day to be out with the rod chucking flies at your chosen species , throwing a popper against the Lilly pads with the hope of a big largemouth sucking it under with a crash , or casting a big fly out to were the water gets murky as it slides off into the deep and you damm well know there is a big old pike waiting to shovel that fly down , or maybe the tide is just right the light levels are perfect and you going to nail dozens of stripped bass in the surf .

then reality crashes in and you got ten mins to get dressed get some breakfast and get to work , OK you could throw a sicky or phone the boss and say tearfully my grandma has passed away i wont be in today this works up to a certain point as one of my old bosses said to me once when i phoned in "dave how come you have lost 15 grandmas this year and they have all passed away when the weather has been great for fishing" at that point i thought id better start on the grandpas .......

so my week this far has been like that the pressures of work and home keeping me away from the vice and thick ice keeping me away from fishing but it could be worse , and at least i can still get on the net and read about and look at flies which brings me to the next point
