two fishermen, five fish

Knowing that we were heading out mid-day, I woke Ken early and we headed out on the water by 06:30. With some hooks and worms we brought in a steady stream of fish. I landed four, and between us we had about eight on our lines at one time or another. All fish were quite small, but that was okay, we were packing shortly for the return trip to the city and didn't need any fish along for the ride.

Once we got back to the city, I got an old bike—the one I commuted on in '11 and the first half of '12—fixed up (including a rack) and into the rental car for the trip to St. Kitts. Mum now has a bike.

For a long time I was very bitter that the people who controlled the means of anybody ever hearing my songs were never gonna play them. They only favored music that I specifically and particularly hated, and I wanted them dead. Suddenly, there was another avenue. I started hearing my stuff coming out of bars and then it started to happen little by little -- a movie song here or a TV ad there.
