The Disc Golf Streak, Day 124 (Casual round @ Williamsburg)

Day 124 of the streak.

Chris Bosio Just wanted to let you know I was out throwing a round of disc golf with Danny this morning (Williamsburg) and thought of you. I've been carrying this around in my wallet for the last twenty years since you gave it to me -- I think of it often when I'm on the disc golf course. One of those rare gems that spoke to me then and now.




Quote by Robert Traver (John Voelker) for those who are unfamiliar:

"I fish because I love to. Because I love the environs where trout are found, which are invariably beautiful, and hate the environs where crowds of people are found, which are invariably ugly. Because of all the television commercials, cocktail parties, and assorted social posturing I thus escape. Because in a world where most men seem to spend their lives doing what they hate, my fishing is at once an endless source of delight and an act of small rebellion. Because trout do not lie or cheat and cannot be bought or bribed, or impressed by power, but respond only to quietude and humility, and endless patience. Because I suspect that men are going this way for the last time and I for one don't want to waste the trip. Because mercifully there are no telephones on trout waters. Because in the woods I can find solitude without loneliness. Because bourbon out of an old tin cup always tastes better out there; Because maybe one day I will catch a mermaid; and finally, not because I regard fishing as being so terribly important, but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant and not nearly so much fun."
