I tried trout fishing the other day. Turns out, it’s a lot like all other freshwater fishing, but with a gorgeous, flowing river in front of you.

I tried trout fishing for the first time today.
Tangled the line and had to cut and retie it four times.
Tried four different rigs.
Caught nothing.
Cared not one iota.

I once helped a student write his college and scholarship application essays. He went on to graduate with his Masters in accounting from U of I. This year I had to draft a letter to include with my taxes, which I did, and forwarded to him.
He sent it back to me.
With revision suggestions.
