Argy and I spent the last few days travelling with Nicholas our youngest son visiting colleges. This time was different as we were spending time at colleges that had accepted him. It was more than a little interesting to watch each institution put their best foot forward to prospective customers. Overall an enlightening experience and one with useful lessons for my small business.
April first is not only a traditional day of pranks. It is an official one here in Maine, the first day of our open water fishing season. The joke is that there is precious little open water to fish in. Not to mention that the air temperatures are a little on the chilly side, it is cloudy and for a while this morning we had a little light snow. What open water there is open at the moment is running high and cold.
I am sure that the weather will improve with time but for today open water fishing is a bit of an April fool’s joke. Hope that you were able to get out were not fooled.
Yesterday morning I had let the dogs out for their morning exercise and come in to get something from my desk. I look out of the window and could see Mae the pointer standing stock still, tail wagging just a little. Then she moved and set up again looking very intent (running bird). Soon Copper came up to see what was going on and stopped stock still right behind her. Of course I did not have my spring mindset and at first thought “I wonder what those dogs are watching?”
