5 AM here. Up a little early to take my kid fishing. My intelligence officer (local bait shop guy) informed me of a lake two hours away where they have been crushing monster shellcracker this week. I'm not going to miss out on a real adventure because of some ridiculous weekend long drinking binge, like I have been doing most of my life.
The lion in Bimini's video, the riggers of life that just want to tear you down and eat you up. The little girl, us on alcohol, defenseless against them except for the glass, which is the perceived barrier that you think alcohol provides. Take away the alcohol (false barrier), and you're no longer a defenseless little girl, and the riggers of life begin to subside, no longer possessing such overwhelming force. [Philosophical portion of the day.] Time to get ready.
