Careful What You Wish For


Just one fish. That's all I needed. Just one. After the first one I felt the greed begin to creep into the recess of my subconscious.  "Man, that was too easy, fourth cast, one fish", so went my thinking. 
Fall is ebbing away, much too quickly.  First time out this Fall, can't believe it myself. What has my life become? Distracted summer, moving addresses in the Fall. A punishing trip to AK. 

I'm distracted by the odd things I find stream side.  Found a tennis ball, thought comes into my head, "would be odd if I found a soccer ball".  Wish granted.  Time to go. Just one more fish, just one more.  Wish granted.
