Part of my trip planning was to get on the net and arrange a fishing trip on Lake Erie with a local guy.
When I told her, my wife looked at me like I just buzzed in from the planet Cornholio. You're going out fishing with some guy from the internet? Don't you know about all the internet predators and terrible stuff that goes on? Aren't you afraid?
Fine Honey (that's what I call her) not many internet predators out there trolling for 40 something white guys to molest. Besides I ain't ever run across a man who could molest me, and I certainly ain't afraid to do some smallmouth fishing on Lake Erie.
She and my mother-in-law told me I was crazy and twittered away about it for hours.
Guy turned out to be as cool a yankee dude as I ever met. Excellent fisherman with a brand new Triton TR21. We absolutely hammered em on spoons and tube jigs. We fished 2.5 hours later than we promised our wives and each other we would. We kept saying just one more and we're outta here. (Sound familiar?)
When I wasn't where I was supposed to be she called me twice, and I told her we were just getting ready to leave both times. His wife called and gave him an ear full too.
Both of us wound up in trouble for being late to commitments because we couldn't stop fishing.
Some things are the same anywhere you go.
