... fish onna stick

... i'm back peoplz! hope you all are well. i wanted to write you all and say hello and of course share some of my pictures of a recent adventure i had with my belurved' father-o-mine.

we jes' got back from a week in kentucky area (we'll call it the williamsburg vicinity) where we spent a good couple of days being fooled by the fish at conley bottom lake. my father has asked me months back if i was interested in spending some quality time being teased, poked at, joshed with, fed well and see some scenery with a friend of his that he knew wayyyyy back in his college days at Indiana University. he later ended up living near his friend and actually hiring him as they both began their careers in higher education. they spent many hours of every possible day fishing and bonding back in the day when they were supposed to be fathering newly born children and more... so this was bound to be a treat. except for a time in 2002 when my parents visited them on a different trip, they hadn't seen each other and barely even communicated for over 35 years!

naturally i said yesh... i mean, how could i not? i already received all of the above, so why not change the scenery a bit too, eh? we had an absolute blast! the kentucky heat made it a bit impossible to catch any small or largemouth bass or crappie's (pronounced "croppie" for you non-fishers) but it was fun non-the-less. pics to follow have some headers to read and enjoy... glad to be back, but not glad to be back to over 4000 emails and work drama! ho hum! the battle continues!

old fishermen and an old dock... you judge who's more weathered! (my father's the good lookin' one in back)

nothing like gorgeous picture opportunities and good rusty stuff to look at!

if the first one is barely a refrigerator magnet in size, try again! (biggest i snagged was 16 inches +)

we shore' ate good.... (meh) but scenes like this @ cumberland falls national park made up for it!

kentucky's vistas catch your breath, and so does seeing the kentucky down's raceway! (where's seabiscuit!?)
