Poem of the day:

Bobber - A Poem By Raymond Carver

On the Columbia River near Vantage,
Washington, we fished for whitefish
in the winter months; my dad, Swede-
Mr. Lindgren-and me. They used belly-reels,
pencil-length sinkers, red, yellow, or brown
flies baited with maggots.
They wanted distance and went clear out there
to the edge of the riffle.
I fished near shore with a quill bobber and a cane pole.

My dad kept his maggots alive and warm
under his lower lip. Mr. Lindgren didn't drink.
I liked him better than my dad for a time.
He lets me steer his car, teased me
about my name "Junior," and said
one day I'd grow into a fine man, remember
all this, and fish with my own son.
But my dad was right. I mean
he kept silent and looked into the river,
worked his tongue, like a thought, behind the bait.

18. combining the celebrations loses something

by the responses you can see it.

Roni you are a wonderful person to do this, and a great job you do! :loveya:

Was this a office call all in one thread?

More DUers' should bring cheer to others it sure would be a warmer place!


I raise my glass to you all,celebrating birthdays,and milestones and it's good to be alive with friends! :toast:

[newyawker99]

19. Hi Crew!

I decided to try it this way on my own. I wanted to see if the thread would get more response if I combined the two. It is an experiment and I will decide what to do with it in a few days.

21. I'm glad to hear it...

I will throw birthday threads and milestones threads when I get back here like I did before...there's been alot going on in my life that keeps me from the computer.

I only wish more would make the effort to spread the joy.

As always you're the best! :hi:
