.29. What’s something you used to do often, but have gotten away from, and really miss?

I think I was thinking about fishing when I came up with the prompt.

Considering more, I don’t really miss being out on a pier all night. I don’t know where that wave of nostalgia came from. The humidity gets pretty old pretty quickly. You come home after a night where you’re glazed in sweat.

So, bad prompt.

I find it interesting how you can have nostalgic moments about things, that when you consider them further, you’d never do again.

That night drinking…
That trip to....
I wonder what happened to her....

Yeah, things that really ended badly, but you omit the bad parts when you first remember. Why does that happen?

Truth be told, I went fishing because I didn’t have anything better to do. It’s where I was in life at the time. It’s not like the Brad Paisley song. I didn’t have somewhere else to be, where I was wanted.

Truth isn’t as refreshing as tackle shop beer, is it?

But that is where I formulated one of my rules of beer – if they sell it in a tackle shop, the only place where it’s appropriate to drink it is while you’re fishing. Looking at you, Natty Light.
