Get A New Hook Up

Easter weekend.....

A time for family to get together and gorge themselves on massive amounts of food, drink, and chips. Adult conversation fills the air, while kids playfully discover hidden eggs in the back yard. Aaaah... what a sweet time. Family-gatherings such as these always fill my heart with pride.

But sometimes (or what seems to be 'all the time'), you have to go visit your significant others' side of the family. Bad? Not really, but inevitably you'll find that you have little to say since you really don't know anyone, nor anything about them.

I did such a journey this weekend, but it proved quite useful! Somewhere between the dip and bean casserole, I fell into a lengthy conversation with some random family member. Obviously, the subject turned to fishing at some point.

Turns out, I get invited to the next big shin-dig over the 4th of July, where they happen to have three boats and a Cabin at a near-by lake. The GFP also made mention that the fishing will be exceptional this year in that neck of the woods.

So..... boring? NO! Guess you just never know what you'll get when you have idle chat with people you don't know!
