I always knew there was more to it than the fish.

And it can take many forms. Certainly fishing is one. Probably biking would be another. :)Frank Baronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07766219281485749395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19155961.post-475488802424134902007-06-24T18:19:00.000-04:002007-06-24T18:19:00.000-04:00Its amazing what we find when we take the time to ...Its amazing what we find when we take the time to reflect on life. Too much is a bad thing you end up an absent minded philosopher.<BR/><BR/>However just the time to clear ones head is fantastic for mind body and soul, if meditation can be improved by the adddition of a fishing rod and a river best of luck to you:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19155961.post-3253691579074061122007-06-24T15:25:00.000-04:002007-06-24T15:25:00.000-04:00I'm down about eight pounds Spidey.

All you need is a sponsor. You have a box of lures and fishing gear, go through it and start sending out query letters. <BR/><BR/>As far as losing weight is concerned, have you started? You mentioned losing 20 pounds a while back, but I have not read anything on that? Summer is here, and the Zen Fisherman should look svelte...Moby Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17921345586805781063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19155961.post-17403712865146786032007-06-22T08:11:00.000-04:002007-06-22T08:11:00.000-04:00Crabby, I don't think it's a question of being dee...Crabby, I don't think it's a question of being deep.
