I know I'm crossing planes of intentions here, but I hope you have as long a good time as you can; perhaps as long as this long board, on the boardwalk, walking merrily, merry to be alive, living for the dream, dreaming of the Ocean. City, man.
(that was an interesting poetic experience...it just came to me)

no conjecture about it...right now this moment i'm in Ocean City Maryland, in the land of the Marys, as opposed to Ocean City New Jersey, in the land of new jerseys and old undershirts. As you may have alluded to in your post, there is an Ocean City in both Maryland and in New Jersey, and I've been to both many times, though not at the same time. Great weather so far. Wish you were all here. We caught a few croakers today, kinda small to mid size ones, so we tossed them back. I hope sometime this week we catch a run of shad...those are fun to catch; last year we used a rig with about seven or eight gold hook spinners all in a row, about 2 ft between each, just toss it out and usually pull a couple out; but you're not allowed to keep them, so it's just catch and return.

I don't wish I were in Maryland or New Jersey at all, but for an hour or two, a good time could be had between us.
You caught croakers, as in frogs? ---------- Post added at 12:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 AM ---------- I think I meant conjuction... I'll look up the -ture to be sure ---------- Post added at 12:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 AM ---------- Ah, it works both ways my inferred meaning due to unware knowledge, but conjuction is most similar to "place in time", which is what I was originally aiming for... I accidentally hit the bullseye on my neighbor's target spot in the formulation of particulars and phrasing.

I like when conjunction and conjecture come together...though if I recall correctly, conjuctivitis is not a favorable condition.
While I love frogs, the croakers we caught were the fish type...they let out a cute little croak as I hold them removing the hook to return them to their wet universe |

I take that as a compliment, as I hope you would too, you oldie.
During our chit chat as I sat in his chair yesterday, the guy who's been cutting my hair for the last 25 years, and a gorgeous head of hair it is still, said he thought I was only in my late 40's when I told him I'm now 60....gave me that extra fantasy spark to attack my wife with new vigor. |

Fly, I had some good pics of us whaling away, posted them on my photobucket account ready to share just with you guys...but those puritan a-holes at pb edited them away!
Anyway, here's the only pic I still have. This was just moments before "the big one" as she's reading about Step 3 on page 6, telling me how, and I'm ready! |
