Young man,
You have sinned! It is good that you have recognized your sin and that coninuing to sin in the future is inherently wrong! If one repents of his sins, one's sins will be expunged! Leave the darkness of fraud and deception, and step into the light!
The Shepherd
Young Man? If only that were true there might be time for me...
Alas, I am lost and most certainly not worthy of salvation. Trust me on this. For even today, should the "egg hatch" occur on the LSac, you will find me chucking an indicator rig behind the salmon. I am weak and helpless on this. Alack, no twelve-step program exists.
My only consolation being I'm a man who knows his limitations. (This is obviously a grasp at staws. Pitiful at best)...Damn!
Should you find it in your infinite wisdom to take pity on a soul so hopelessly lost as oldtrout; I'd be honored to stand in a river wayving a stick with you anytime, anywhere.
Your faithless and most worthless follower,
DG
PS May I ask a favor? I've lost contact with he who is known by a certain garment worn by the fairer sex.
Should you ever speak with such a person, please give him my sincerest regards.

"Rivers course through my dreams, rivers cold and fast, rivers well-known and rivers nameless, rivers that seem like ribbons of blue water twisting through wide valleys, narrow rivers folded in layers of darkening shadow, rivers that have eroded down deep in a mountain's belly, sculpted the land, peeled back the planet's history exposing the texture of time itself."
— Harry Middleton (Rivers of Memory)
"Each night as I haul myself onto the back of county garbage truck no. 2, there is a familiar wind, some thread of moonglow or starlight, a splatter of dark rain on my skin, something that stirs my memory, and again, if even for a brief moment, I am on some mountain river, some stretch of bright water, full of possibilities, including the possibility of trout, perhaps one that, when hooked, will haul me in and out of time, in and out of life's mysterious and frightening, wondrous and incomprehensible continuum, even to the edges of the universe." -- Harry Middleton
