Wow Swedeace, you really get around :)

And now for a vacation story
I call it FISHING WITH A GIRL

To start off with, let me say, Ive never particularly liked fishing; I mainly did it to make my Grampa happy ( plus it meant I got a boat ride ). However, one of the last times I ever went fishing, it wasnt with Grampa in a boat, it was standing on some rock strewn island up in Northern Ontario, with My Dad, his best friend, and his teenage daughter, Jackie......and that's where the story begins:

First thing you might need to know is, Jackie was the girl I'd grown up with, we were 4 months apart and had lived as neighbours until her family left the neighbourhood when we were about 10......the Jackie i had known at THAT time was a rough little tomboy who was not only 10 times better at sports than I was, but who could easily have beaten me up, had she wanted to. ( I knew she was technically a "girl", but, she was "one of the guys", to me. ) Thus, I figured going fishing with her when she was 15 wouldnt be any big problem, however, sometime between her moving away 5 years previous, and then, she'd somehow become...............A REAL GIRL!!!! :eek:!!!
I knew this was going to be a problem the second she turned to me and asked me to bait the hook for her. ( Was this really the girl that i remembered covered in mud, eating dirt, so many years ago? ) Jackie used to collect worms and put them in a J-cup filled with mud after any rainstorm, now, here she was refusing to even touch her own worms! ( I was @_@ ) So, gallant boy that i was, i reluctantly put the worm on her hook, which immediately hooked itself into my thumb, of course. ( But, the worse was yet to come ) Now, the place we were, was litterally a little stone island , only accessible by boat, surrounded by deep water on all sides, and, these rocks tended to be rather slippery from the combination of splashing water and moss/seaweed that tended to cover said rocks.....which leads to why I never went fishing with a girl again. Once I had the hook out of my thumb ( Thx Dad ), Jackie cast in her line, as did I , and a few mins later, Jackie "caught bottom" and her line snagged.....of course, she handed the line to ME......( Can you guess what happened next? ) Right, I slipped on the rock while trying to pull her line free, and landed feet first into the deep cold water, plunging about 8 feet down, before swimming back up, panting for air, somehow, I managed to hold onto her fishing line ( I guess I had it in a "death grip" ). Dad and his buddy pulled me out , as the rocks were too steep and slippery to climb; I dont actually remember anything of the rest of the day, other than a pledge, never again to go fishing with a girl! :lol: ( True story!)

That is a cute pic with the Big Apple. I really like that. :D

Thx ..any good vacation pics , or stories Irene? ( You must have a few, you go all over the place ;) )

I went to New York last week.
