Fishing on the mind

However, just because I want to be trying out a few new techniques, that doesn’t mean I will get a chance to.

Started out with a lazy day, not a lot on the books for work, a just had to go and teach an astrology class. I was winding my way through some horoscopes, like, I had a bunch of ideas hit, all at once, and I was busy trying to transcribe all the material when the phone started ringing.

“Want to go to lunch?” Yeah, can hold for a second?

“Got a deal pending, what’s that look like?” Sure, looks good.

“We picked the date for incorporation, can you walk the material through the Secretary of State’s office this afternoon at the precise time?” Sure.

That last one, it was a fun one, it was matter of picking the best time – astrologically – for a business venture – then getting paid for both a consultation and walking the papers through the filing process at the agreed upon time.

But the moon, the moon was dark. Great time, one-day window for fishing. Work? Fish? Which one is most important?

There’s still a big, lurking black bass that regularly cruises the shoreline when I’m there. But she doesn’t like anything I’ve thrown at her, not plastics, not topwater, not crankbait, not spinners, not tubes, not even the special “Bass crave the flavor” slimy worm thing. Nothing. Sounds like my social life, but I guess that’s not the point these days.

Walking back from the state offices, I kept thinking about a slight variation of a rig, possibly a new way to sneak up on that one fish. Didn’t work, but at least I had a chance to try.

I tried recording the lecture with my iPod. Sort of worked. Not production quality, but the idea is getting there. I should be able to do a “spoken word – astrology” audio CD pretty soon. At least I’m closer to one goal.
