Opis

A Life Well Fished isn't just about fishing... Sure, there are plenty of fishing tales, but it also chronicles a successful life journey--generously laced with wit and humor. Both on the water and off, the author has sailed many "Cs": a Chicago childhood; conversations at Crystal Creek; catching carp, catfish, and crappies from the Chain O' Lakes; consuming czarnina (Polish duck blood soup); college and its collage of characters; the Chicago Cubs (curses ); the chagrin of constipation and colonoscopies; and casting captivating Canadian waters in the quest to catch the fish of a lifetime. With those experiences (many highlighting the "fun" in "dysfunction," tucked in this Baby Boomer's creel, "now" was the time to document them. The author swims boldly (wait, he can't swim at all...) into the minutia of Americana where few writers dare to cast a line: shopping for bacon; hooking himself instead of the trophy musky he's pursuing; and dealing with sweaty arm pits (that was the least of his problems) on a "dream date" gone awry. Oh, and on a grander level, join his humorous troll that seeks to hook the answer to the enigmatic "Meaning of Life" question. Hop aboard (make sure you're wearing a life vest ) and prepare to smile. This lighthearted portrait is sure to catch your imagination
