I shall return

I probably was about 10 the last time I went fishing. We'd occasionally go to a pond at some park in my hometown and haul out a few sunfish. Not very exciting stuff, even for a kid.

Now, I have no plans to go fishing anytime soon. I just wanted to let you know I'll be out of pocket -- and odd phrase, I know, but one that is popular in my office for some reason -- for about a week or so.

And those "Gone Fishin' " signs are the first thing that popped into my head. So there you go.

I'm not sure how much Internet access I'll have while I'm away, but you may get a post from somewhere interesting if I get the chance. That's assuming I make it through the plane ride. I've never been on a flight longer than 5 hours, so if anyone has tips for surviving a long-haul flight, I'd be ever so grateful.
