That last part is so true. One of my most influential mentors would ask, “do you know or do you understand?”. His point being: you can “know” a lot from reading, watching and listening. You only gain “understanding” when you’ve experienced and put it into practice. A nitpick on two similar words, but that has stuck with me!
I laughed out loud reading this piece. So well-written that I felt I was right there with you. Although we both know I NEVER would have been right there with you. I would have been pretending I were mom of the single moms.
So glad you had a great week in NJ, and there's always next summer to win that tournament, now that you should be pros. Enjoy the relative peace and calm this weekend, eat well, and you definitely are not living vicariously! Love you lots!
I had to google a bunch of terms, but I enjoyed your narration of the process! I felt I was there with you having an adventure. I am looking forward to talk to you more about hunting and now I am very curious about the archery season...

Such an important distinction!
On this one, I chose to live it vicariously
Ha! As long as that’s your choice
Great story telling Lou! I really enjoyed this one. That fish looks like it was delicious. -Madison

Thanks, Madison!
That would be a CWD recipe…….for disaster— I’ll live vicariously for this one!
Tautog is one of my top five favorite fish...both to eat and to catch (but I'm a hook and line kinda gal)!
No shame in that — tastes good no matter how you get it!

I think you’d do well in a wetsuit and with a speargun in your hands!

Thanks, Eli! I’m excited, too!
