Lessons from Hay Lake

Here’s a couple of things I a) learned or b) thought a lot about while fishing at Hay Lake in MN last week.

• A long, hard and even wet day of fishing is better than a good day working.
• I need to let other people go first more often…and be more generous.
• Yes, you can get knocked over by a sheep dog.
• Laughter makes everything fun.
• I’ll always be my mom’s little boy, no matter how old I am.
• Some of the things that I think are really funny, aren’t.
• Not everyone has heard about John Daker and AskaNinja.com
• A judgmental, nitpicking, legalistic spirit eats at you from the inside.
• Good things can keep you from the important ones.
• I really can’t sit still. I try but it doesn’t work.
• Don’t say you’re sorry and then laugh. It’s doesn’t end up well.

Here’s some pics.
