The Cure for Depression

Just in case you are feeling down, I have the perfect pick-me-up. Take a kid fishing. Wednesday evening, Alex hooked and landed this bass completely on his own. (And yes, he kissed it good-bye before throwing it back.) We were both pretty proud. Later as our friend Grant was leaving Alex said, "I'm sorry you didn't catch any fish, Grant." And then he gave him a hug. Alex didn't realize that he had just uttered some of the most powerful trash talk in the history of fishing. I couldn't begin to express my sense of pride after that.
