While the hubby only thinks of his rods, reels and other fishing goodies, I have to make sure he brings himself in good condition back home. First, I make sure he has a lunch box with him, men always want to eat, even if they're fishing. I also put in a cold drink for him. Then it is the clothes. Is there something warm? Does he have something for his "bles"? And lastly, suntan lotion (he will not want to apply it 'cause the fish will smell it). Make sure he has his cellphone, digital camera and fishing licence. Cell for me being worried, camera to tell the tale and licence for him not getting worried. He must at least let me know where he is going to fish and what time he expects to get back (but he always gets home later than that because of that "last cast"). If all is done, he is ready to go. Now my boy can go fishing ...
