Angeler

I love to fish.

It is one of the things that has followed me from my childhood into my adulthood.

I’ve often wondered why a fisherman is called an angler. I discovered the etymology of the word means “one who fishes with an angle.” The word “angul” is from the old German meaning a hook.

So, an angler is not someone who is enthralled by geometric patterns though I’ll admit there is some calculation and mathematics involved in successful fishing.

One must cast at the correct angle (pun intended) in order for the lure to land in the correct spot in whatever body of water the angler is angling in. The line is of limited length. If there is not enough line on the reel, the place where the angler believes the fish are waiting will not be reached.

The cast. The return. The repetition. The circles emanating out from where the lure has landed. The waiting. The strike. The fish captured by the angle. The contentment. The release. Rinse. Repeat. Calculate the angle of the next cast.

Or is “angle” simply a garbled rendition of “angel” where the l and the e have simply been switched? If I, like Icarus, have fallen into the sea, will there be a golden line cast from heaven to capture me, send me soaring again?

We’ve been made a little lower than the angels. Have we no wings? Is the itching in my shoulder blades the faint memory of flight? Perhaps as noted before, I am simply Exocoetidea, a fish out of water, seeking flight, yet still tied to the depths.

I think I will call myself an “angeler,” in the hope that on a quiet morning on some sacred shore, the mist rising like incense off the water, I will rediscover my wings.

Rhubarb stalks. Just peeled the skin, dip it in sugar, bite off and enjoy the summer snack/treat.

This awakens childhood #memories.

Must now plant rhubarb for next years's summer!

This memory is probably best aimed at the UK.
When I was a kid there was a chewing gum machine on the wall outside the tobacconist shop. It was Beach Nut.
This machine would give you a second free packet every fourth turn.
We knew the position that the knob you turned to drop the gum had to be in to get the free extra pack.
So we would wait, hanging out around the shop, until it was in that position and purchase our gum.

I visited the farm I grew up on last weekend. It was a splendid summer day and just right for remembering the past. The photograph is the view from a bench on the lawn in the yard. The view through the trees towards the Muir of Dess served as a parade ground for past people and personalities. Nostalgia isn’t what it used to be. On a day like that it was an easy afternoon of joy at the remembrance of shared experiences.

I remember being in the gym and playing baseball (if it was in the gym, it was likely kickball or some other baseball derivative). I was standing at second base and then my "teammate" on first decided to steal second and then I was out for some reason.

This really annoyed me because I was never told it could happen, I had no way of noticing it was happening and I hate getting punished because someone else did something dumb

Went shopping and found this awesome huge (15 oz.) Mug for my desk at work. #IYKYK #GenX #Canadian #CBC #MrDressup #MemoryLane #ErnieCoombs #ChildhoodMemory #KidsTV #Canada #CanadianTV

Random #ChildhoodMemory: chomping down on a board of gum from a pack of trading cards. It had the texture of brittle plastic and it was amazing. ^__^
