Went deep sea fishing for the first time ever for a work event in Atlantic Highlands NJ. Some of the things I learned today: when you fish, you have to hold your thumb on the reel line or else it gets all tangled up and the fishermen aboard get annoyed with you. I did this about 6 times. After the third or fourth time I stopped telling them that I messed up their pole and just grabbed another one. The next thing I learned is "no poles in the holes". I know how this sounds....but what it really means is that you cant leave your pole in the cup thingy in case you get a bite. I also learned that big fish require big bait. These suckers were getting like half of a little fish. Despite all the things I learned on this trip Shenosky and I were the ONLY two people on the entire boat that didn't catch anything. So, I guess the last thing I learned is that I am not destined to be a fisher-woman (which I already knew anyway).

Eat them up yum! How fun. You seem to be enjoying your time in the big city. One of these days I'll get there too. My sister-in-law still lives there in Harlem and I am eventually going to visit. Alaska is so very far away though. ;)
