Dear Friend
I have been so blessed in my life. Great parents, great wife and
kids, great job, and great education.
When I finally retired, I could hardly wait to spend time
enjoying my favourite pastime -- bass fishing. I got my own little
fishing boat and tried to get my wife to join me, but she just never
liked fishing. Finally, one day at the Bait & Tackle Shop, I got to
talking to Sam, the shop owner, who it turned out loves bass fishing as
much as I do. We quickly became fishing buddies. As I said, the wife
doesn't care about fishing; she not only refuses to join us, she always
complains that I spend too much time fishing.
A few weeks ago Sam and I had the best fishing trip ever. Not
only did I catch the most beautiful bass you've ever seen, only a few
minutes later Sam must have caught his twin brother! So I took a picture
of Sam holding up the two nice bass that we caught and showed the
picture to the wife hoping that maybe she'd get interested. Instead she
says she doesn't want me to go fishing at all anymore! And she wants me
to sell the boat! I think she just doesn't like to see me enjoying
myself.
What would you do? Tell the wife to forget it and continue my
hobby or quit fishing and sell the boat as she insists?
Thanks,
A fisherman
PP I have enclosed a picture of the two fish we caught.
