I would like my wife to join me but she is the type that would rather go to Nordys and shop until she drops. That is alright with me.
I have a ten year old son that I want to take but feel his patience level is about good for 30 minutes and then he is ready to explore the world- torture bugs, throw rocks as far as he can (when bankin), drink a six pack of pop (leaves pop cans half full)and in general do what 10 year old kids do! The good news is is that he does like to fish!
Back to my wife(whom I dearly love-seems to be the politically correct thing to say-just kidding)......
It is probaly a good thing that my wife does not go out with me and another fishing buddy due to the content of our conversations. You know, how cool we are,what babes are looking hot :D, how often we would like to have the squeeze box squeezed,how cool we are, an occasional profanity (never used around the wife), Mariners(she does like the Mariners), Seahawks and sports in general, not getting "it" enough , and slaming down some coldies (if she only knew how many we actually have I would think she might turn me in to AA), smoking good and bad cigars- gotta love those Swishers Sweets! Some major high levels of testosterone and great male bonding!
To some this sounds a bit immature but like fishing, life needs to be enjoyed to it's fullest ......with your wife on the river or without your wife!
