So, don't come lookin' for me anytime soon. Albert and I are going fishing.
It's always exciting to prepare for a day or two of fishing. It's important to get to bed early, so you can be where the fish are when the sun comes up. For those who aren't familiar with the act of trying to catch fresh water fish, the best time to be casting your line into the water is either when the sun is coming up, or going down. The time in between is for relaxing, and of course, daydreaming.
I can remember when I was much younger, how excited I would get just knowing I was going fishing the next morning. Excited enough, upon occasion, to make sleep itself into a fish that was difficult to catch.
Albert, however, will make this into quite the adventure. His experience of fishing, is a horse of a different color. Being a bear, he is used to using his claws and, pardon my poor rhyming, jaws. So, using a fishing pole will be quite a new experience.
But that's only the half of it. I have a feeling if anyone were to see him riding around in a motor vehicle, we would probably get into a fair amount of trouble. That's where the real preparation comes in. I managed to get a big floppy hat, large plaid shirt, and some large fisherman's overall waders (the kind with suspenders, like farmer's overalls). He's not overjoyed to wear this outfit, but he understands the necessity. And, I rented a van with tinted windows, just to be safe.
Well, there you have it. I think Albert is more excited than I am. I'm not sure either of us will get much sleep tonight.
With all the commotion are preparations have been making, I think my feathered friend, Eddie, will be quite happy to see us go. He's not too happy about any kind of excitement, unless it's purely his own, usually over one of his favorite tv commercials, which of course, feature someone whistling in the background.
Anyway, if you happen to see us driving around in a furtive manner, PLEASE, pretend you don't know us. Thank you. Until next time, enjoy yourselves, and stay out of trouble.
