Physical fitness day 10: The day the internet was down.

The 30 day ab challenge day 4 was a day of rest. What does a Handy Father do when the internet is down?  What can you do?  Can’t blog… Can’t stream music or video… Can’t do any website design… The internet outage was widespread, so this handy father gave his father a call, and we went fishing.

Fishing with my father

Sometimes it is difficult to get my dad out on the water.  He said all he was going to do was mow, so naturally, it wasn’t that hard to talk him into putting it off tomorrow.

We didn’t catch much or talk about anything profound, but that isn’t what is important.  Fishing with my father is something I can’t do with anyone else.  Likewise, spending time with your child can’t be done with anyone else.

Fishing with my father is one of my most prized activities.  My wife and I have been taking the kids out fishing often this summer.  The boat isn’t fancy, and we don’t always bring home dinner, but we are always excited to get out on the water and spend time together.  I hope that when my kids grow up, they will remember the times I talked about fishing with my father, and they will still go fishing with me.  In turn, they will take their own kids out.

The saying is old, and not exactly this, but it’s still true.

Feed your kids some fish for dinner, and feed them for a day.  Teach your kids to fish, and feed them for a lifetime!

Physical Fitness day 10:

I didn’t really do anything yesterday to improve my physical fitness…  I guess I’m still not perfect.  Go figure!  Maybe tomorrow I’ll be perfect?
