Life is hard enough without adding alcohol to it

Hello sober friends,

Glad to be sober today! 

Anyway, I was surfing "You tube" when I ran across the funniest video. How it reminded me of how it seems I often struggle with the smallest of things and sometimes have the hardest time for no reason. How the heck did I do anything drunk? LOL Better yet,how I can enjoy a good laugh and not be drunk. It's amazing.

This video is a professioal fisherman who has his own television show. On TV it seems he reels in one fish after another and never makes a mistake. The truth is he does:

Here is "Bill Dance" :

Thank you Janet.  Yes, it's amazing how we can struggle with the little things.  My friend describes our behavior like trying to pole vault over fly sh*t when we can just step over it.  LOL 

That video reminded me of when I was younger and went fishing with 2 buddies.  Towed a boat up to the lake.  Lost all the life jackets/cushions in the boat on the way up- wind blew them out.  Had to go into town to get new one's- $$.  Put the boat in the water and went to park the truck.  Came back to the boat ramp and the boat was on the bottom of the lake.  Forgot to put the drain plug in.  biggrin  Did I say I use to rush around at a frantic pace without thinking?  Better now, but still happens occasionally.

So funny. The scary thing is, with the accent and the UT hat, I'll bet he's close to my neck of the woods. NO, we are not all like that here in east Tennessee!

This is what we're like in the Smoky Mts. of East Tennessee

Yeah, I remember watching him on tv years ago. I never would have thought he had that side to him. He always seemed like a good ol' boy!
