Today is April Fools Day so be careful of the pranksters in your midst. I had a friend back in New York who was no fool but had no idea of the significance of that date. His recognition of April 1st was that it was the opening of trout season which every outdoorsman would know. As the date approached he used to visit the Abercrombie & Fitch store in mid-Manhattan whose sporting department maintained a casting pond up on their roof where he could practice casting with a new rod and try out some new flys. It was said that - when he was in town - Ted Williams the famous Boston Red Sox baseball player would also visit that site as fishing was his first love. Personally, I found trout to be tasty but with too many tiny bones.
As for the late, great Ted Williams I believe his heirs still have his body preserved cryogenically in liquid nitrogen - but on the whole I think he would rather be fishing.
