Shall we wax metaphorical for a moment? If the future is like the sun, then I can confidently state that I'm living under a cloud layer. Occasionally, a brilliant shaft of light penetrates the gloom, but cold half-tones and thunderbolts are my future forecast. Call it a low spot, but I seem to have given up most of my hope for the future. The alluring radiance of the future has become obscured by the fog of a progressive, degenerative neurological disease with no cure. As Parkinson's Disease gradually slows me down physically and mentally, many of the things I used to dream of no longer make much sense. So what does make sense? I tell myself that I should hold tight to something I'm passionate about, pursue it with as much energy as I can spare. So why fishing, and why fly fishing for trout?
