When life comes crashing down and you can't go to the fish-i

I feel like a bit of a fool announcing this, especially after I made such a fuss about needing to find a place to stay, but sadly I won’t be able to make it to the fish-in.

My job situation has gotten really bad, and I put in my letter of resignation two days ago (organizational problems made worse by a bad boss). To make matters worse, my brother was arrested and put in jail for pulling a gun on someone, and my Dad was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. The MS wouldn’t be such a problem if my Mom weren’t already in the advanced stages of Fascioscapular Muscular Dystrophy. I swear that I’m not making this stuff up. So, added to my wife’s pregnancy, and a cross country move, it looks like life is a little to complicated to be able to make the fish-in.

I hope you guys all have a fun time, and catch plenty of fish without me. If you’re the praying type, remember me.

cheers,

You got it Ray…sorry I won’t be able to meet you this time around. There will be others. Oh yeah, make sure you take a little time for yourself.

Ray,
Sounds like when it rains, it poors. Sorry to hear about your travails. Hope all works out for you.

Ray, life can be a real test of strength and spirit. You are a survivor and things will come together for you and your family. Take care of that wife of yours and the future one in the family.

Till the next fish-in

The Geezer


Excus my spelling and gramma, I hooked Mondays and Fridays so I could Hunt or fish.

That’s somewhat similar to what happened to me for the first 2 fish-ins. Only got to go to the 1 st for part of a day. I’m supposed to be coordinating this one, and if I hadn’t been doing all these hurricane repairs about every day since Super Bowl Sunday…I probably wouldn’t get to go to this one!

Castwell,
I’m going to take you up on that…

Thanks, all.
