Last Saturday was my 46th birthday. We got up early, the sun was out, and we made pancakes for breakfast. I used some very good Vermont maple syrup on my stack. We then went to watch my 8th grade daughter play in a very good, close basketball game. They won. We came home and my wife took the kids shopping so I went ice fishing at a lake where I grew up. I sat on a bucket on that ice by myself in the, cold, crisp air all afternoon. It was 7 degrees. People came and left but I stayed. The springs along the high bank were flowing lightly and there must have been 50 robins poking around in the mud and leaves only about 20' away from me. Towards sunset, doves landed at the waters edge and had their evening drink. I caught 60 or 70 fish, although only two were big enough to keep. That's fine with me. I went home and fried up two pounds of bacon, a couple onions and ¾ of a pound of liver. The kids had BLT's. Then we had a German chocolate birthday cake with coconut-pecan frosting. Opened my birthday presents and then watched a movie with the family. I ended up falling asleep on the couch with my wife. It would have been a perfect day… if only I could have gotten some seat time on my Power Trac.
The End.
