Just because
My favorite thing about posting these silly blog messages is that I get to pretend that the majority of human beings on this planet and many of the extra-terrestials that are in our solar system stealing our free wireless are actually reading it. When in fact I think the only people who actually read it are the three friend who are in all the pictures and they only read it because they are afraid I am going to say something bad about them or use some kind of compromising photograph of them that will keep them from running for the Senate some day. Well, and I think my mom reads it, but maybe not.
Regardless, I am still going to pose a question and hope that someone out there reads it and responds. I won’t expect to hear from any of you aliens because you probably don’t need technical outwear. You might need a nice pair of Marker Duke Bindings though. Sorry, I digress, here goes. Has anyone ever done something even though you knew it was a bad idea and you knew there was a good chance that the consequence would leave you miserable? I only ask because I spent most of the day Saturday on a lake trying to catch fish that were not cooperating. Sounds like fun you say. Let me paint a little picture for you. It was forty degrees and raining the whole time. It was to cold to even drink beer, which is one of the main reasons I go fishing in the first place. There were three of us and nobody actually thought the fishing was going to be good. The quote that actually got me out of bed to join this expedition was “We have all of this Gore-Tex stuff we might as well use it once and awhile”. How can you say no to that. Sure I knew that I was going to be miserable, but I also knew that the ordeal would at some point be over and it would make for a good story. Not to mention the fact that I got to test out some new gear. Even better, I discovered that I need some new gear! Which is the best feeling ever, because it means you get to log onto tetonvillagesports.com
SPECTOR FOR SENATE!!! Perhaps we would see Fishing Fridays, text message abatement and overall improved cellular communication in his platform statement.
I believe any late night adventure that involves ending up at Wilson’s premier watering hole fits the bill for bad ideas ripe with consequences & misery (if at least just for the following day). Ladies, I’d suggest the Patagonia Morning Glory Dress from tetonvillagesports.com for such an occasion- it wicks moisture AND dries fast.
