Afternoon

*DISCLAIMER*
I am not an Astronaut or Cosmonaut, do not let the space themed anything make you think otherwise.

Finally decided to get around to doing this. Didn't put it off because it seemed like an odious task, or that it was unappealing, it's just that's how things have played out. I'd like to claim I have been too busy, but that is not the case just an extreme procrastinator. Might as well hop along and post something nostalgic before I can some how convince myself I can put this off a little longer. Hello all. There it's done, now time to move on to the relevant content, the meat and potatoes of this thing, a nice little story about my male/female self.

Walking down a pavement road, sitting in a phalanx of trees, spears of sun piercing through, illuminating spots fortunate enough to be found. I was walking back to our tent, a little person's hand in my right hand, and our prize in my left. It had been a fruitful bounty that day, our heads were held high and smiles were plastered on our faces. This is a passion of mine, but not so much my partner, who had come along as a spectator. Do know why this small person shared in my glee, maybe it was for a different reason, but what did I care? I was victorious, I was returning with something I had never had before and it was awesome. I placed the bucket down on the table, and the sound of our return drew out two others to see what was going on. They didn't seem to care about y prize, just the fact that we return smiling, that was odd to me. Any ways I pulled my attention back to what had mattered, the bucket. I lifted off it's lid and revealed what made my day, frogs.

    1. Place near Shuswap Lake in B.C. to me slugs are a dime a dozen, but I suppose what we find rewarding depends on where we are.

  3. Procrastination will be the death of all students, I swear. I know because, like you, poster, I am also a procrastinator. I wrote my story only a few short hours before this class!

    Frogs, what an interesting prize. Why were you so pleased with catching these frogs? How many did you manage to catch on this adventure with the little person?

    1. I was pleased because anything that can live in water I find awesome, and I caught about five. Had to do some catch and release

  4. Was this your first time attempting to catch frogs? Or had you tried before and come back empty handed? Who was more excited, you or the little person you were sharing the experience with?

  6. It sounds like you both had fun. The little person with you must have really enjoyed catching the frogs! It sounds like the little person with you not only enjoyed catching the frogs, but just enjoyed the adventure and time spent with you. I'm sure that will be a great memory for the little person that was with you.

  7. Did you keep the frogs?

    When I was a child, we caught some frogs from Saskatchewan, brought them home, gave them a nice big aquarium and plenty of crickets. They lived for years and grew from just wee little guys into huge frogs the size of grapefruits!
