Mr. Fisherman

So I just came back today from fishing upstate with my old man again. We left Tuesday afternoon. Drove 6 hours and got to the hotel around 6:30pm. Given this was our 3rd time up there is year we learned that it was better to drive up there then sleep instead of driving straight to fishing. We end up falling asleep by the fishing poles. So we slept until next morning, drove another 35mins to the river and fished there until 7pm. We managed to catch 14 carp in total before making up and heading back to the hotel to sleep one more night. I got back around noon today. So that was my 3 day trip for ya.

6 hour driving, sleeping and fishing. In a nutshell that's what it was.

Speaking about my Dad, he and I have this odd relationship. We get along great and he's the best caring, supporter Dad I can ever ask for but I can't even remember the last deep conversation we ever had. Sure we talk but never anything major or anything often enough for me to say, "that was a good talk dad". Like me and him were having dinner by the hotel and we ended up saying no more then maybe 5 to 6 six sentences to each other the whole meal. That happens all the time no matter where we are. It must seem odd or unhealthy to others seeing that kind of lack of interaction between father and son but up to this point its just how me and my dad are. I couldn't even think of the 1st deep conversation I have with my Dad and if he started one that would freak me out a little. We talk about fishing, food, the game or school. Everything else is nonexisting or just understood between us.

I think our silence has more meaning then our words sometimes.....Whatever...It works for us and I guess that's all that matters.

Before I got my friend Phil sent me this. Ever funny stuff since I never saw the movie.
