Our friends Gene and Betty drove in from St. Louis to spend the holiday weekend with us. Gene is quite the fisherman as is Mel, I'm just a guy that enjoys going out and enjoying the outdoors whether I catch a fish or not. But would you believe, I baited my own hook and caught my share of fish including a 50 lb bass and a 75 lb catfish, maybe slightly exagerated. We all caught a fair number of fish that were all released, to be caught another day.
Gene was originally from Chicago and many years after discussing growing up in Chi town we also discovered that we were in the same Kindergarten class in Grade School. Talk about a small world. Betty and my wife Norma, went through Sunday and High School together. Over these many years we've remained friends and either we go there or they come here depending on the occasion, if there is one.
As we all get a little older each year it's nice to keep in touch, especially with Betty, Gene, not so much. (kidding). Have to show a disclaimer so he doesn't cry like a baby. They (St. Louis) have never gotten over Kansas City beating them in the '85 World Series. It's been 25 years already, let it go.
They have a split relationship when it comes to college basketball. Betty is a Jayhawk fan and Gene a Mizzou fan. If the wrong team wins, no sex. Last night we all went out to dinner and tonight we're going to the M&S grill, where none of us have been. Will let you know in a future blog if we enjoyed it. Check out a few of our fishing photos from this morning. If you can't read the captions, just click on the photo.
