PONDERING CORE ESSENCE
NUMENON |
So much happened in May! This favorite month of mine passed by in a blink of the eye, but lots of good things were packed in. My oldest daughter got married in San Francisco. That is her story to tell, but it was a simple joy to be a part of her happiness. I found San Francisco to be an interesting city, we had a great time together, the food was consistently excellent, I reconnected with all my girls and I decompressed for the first time in a long while. It was a truly happy event and a great break from my daily grind. From there, A, M and I drove to Yosemite National Park. I'd never been, and it did not disappoint. Our stay was short, but I fished hard and intently. The surroundings were stunning. Work seemed very remote, and I caught many positive glimpses of what retirement might offer. Returning to Maine, it was finally time to get amybaby22 moored and start the striped bass season. While my season got off to a slow start, more fish continued to arrive in the last week of the month, and I took advantage of the long Memorial Day weekend to chase them in earnest. I caught some really nice stripers to 32 inches (which in my experience is an approximate 98th percentile specimen) and many solid fish on light tackle. I'm catching them in a variety of manners, including on the fly. They've afforded some quality experiences already, and I still have four months of season ahead! We've been in Maine for almost a year now. It's not quite "normal" for me, but I am getting used to it! Pondering the questions of core essence and finding meaning in unexpected ways
