When you throw out a line, what do you want to catch?

​I watched a young man pull a three-foot-wide stingray to the shore. He fought the hard fight, and after about sixty minutes, the animal was beached, only to take a quick picture, receive applause from the group that had gathered, and let it loose. I thought this might be the highlight of this guy’s life. He seemed to relish all the attention and the feeling of accomplishment. Had he ever caught something so significant before?
I believe that summer is the time to try things that you might not have done before. Let’s face it, what happens on vacation stays on vacation (unless it becomes the story of the big one that got away)? Maybe it is time to throw out your proverbial fishing line and see what you catch. Perhaps you will grab a new hobby. When was the last time you rode a bike? Or, after hearing about this new game, pickle ball, should you give that a try? The best part of doing something new away from your usual friends and neighbors is that you will probably not see these people again, and therefore you should not fear making a fool of yourself. No one even has to know if it is an epic fail. On the flip side, if you love it, you can tell everyone that you discovered your new passion while on vacation. This is something to explore further. Look for the completed story soon.
