Well, Memorial Day weekend is almost upon us. Of course this means four things; beer stock is going up, gas prices are getting stupid, worms are shaking and fish are laughing. Of course, like everybody else, I will be taking my family up to a cabin on a lake this weekend to partake in the customs of Memorial Day (which I am not sure what they have to do with honoring our fighting men and women, God bless them). My plans this weekend include fishing with my son. Then after drowning a few worms we’ll head up to the local grocery store and pick up some fresh fish so we at least don’t starve. Then in the evening, I’ll tip a few beers and create fire, joining the alum of men before me who have provided their family with means for heat and cookery. To do so, I will rub a couple of sticks together (over a lighter of course) and show nature just why we are at the top of the food chain, because we have gas. Then we’ll enjoy an evening around the fire eating the days catch (purchase, whatever) that I prepared with my own two hands; of course my wife will help a little, well ok technically all I’ll do is pull it out of the package. Maybe.

You know, back to the fishing thing, Why are worms so apposed to fishing? I have been thinking lately that if the whole comic strip idea doesn’t pan out and the bottom falls out of Web Development I am going to open a worm obedience school. We’ll teach those little buggers to like fishing if it kills them. It could be an enterprise, I could stand to make tens of dollars. Heck I may do it anyway just because of the prospects. Anybody want any trained night crawlers?
