Hi Everyone..Welcome to new community members!..Please feel free to joins us and contribute..Get to know the great folks who visit here

Weather is still fairly mild here in New England, with the exception of yesterday and today

I got out fishing a couple of days this week, but its starting to wind down and I suspect this may be the last week in this season

My brother went for his prostate biopsy yesterday, and I could tell he was afraid, but all went well and he didnt experience any pain so that was a relief for both of us..We got to the appointment 20 minutes late because of construction on I-95, and an abandoned vehicle in the middle lane, so I got on my cell phone and called the Dr's office to tell them we would be a little late, and they gave me 20 minutes to get there which was almost how long it took..Then the 2 nurses were sarcastic about us being late, and I felt like telling them where to go, but instead of getting into an explanation I just decided to let it go and let it be their problem..It takes 20 minutes to get to the Dr's office and we left a half hour prior the appointment time..Figures..when you are early or on time they make you wait sometimes up to an hour..but when youre late, they are on schedule..

My Newport support group had its X-mas party this morning, and it was good..plenty of food..most of the members showed up..and they had a choir concert of X-mas carols..They had a sing along as well and they had me singing.. ..I cant sing..but I must say it was fun..Not something I would usually do

My boat hasnt left for Cape Cod yet so I still go down there twice a week to check it, and the new owner has been doing some work on it, and the last time I went down there I finally felt like it wasnt mine anymore..It was bittersweet..it was a feeling of letting go, and the feeling of the newness of moving on to the next chapter in my life..Some excitement in that feeling..and some feeling of letting go of the other end of the towel hesitantly..That kind of fishing had been a part of my life since 1978..But the excitement of the adventure of the new kind of fishing is like being a little kid all over again..I guess my inner child wants to come out and play..

So that was my week..How was your week?
