By Randy Gardner<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is really funny how I touched a nerve with alot of people with last week’s \u00a0column about fishing or my lack of it.<\/p>\n

I had some people come up and say that I don’t like fishing\u00a0 because I don’t take it seriously enough and give it a chance. However, I had others say that they feel the same pain as I do with just not getting it.<\/p>\n

Honestly, as\u00a0 I always say, to each their own. Think about it. If we all liked the same thing,\u00a0 we would all be married to the same type woman and the golf courses would be packed.\u00a0 So for all of you fisherman, I will stay out of your way.<\/p>\n

Frustrations Today\u00a0Maybe Memories Tomorrow<\/strong><\/p>\n

The second part of my columm was all about the frustration of watching the young\u00a0 ones play ball. I heard maybe one of the best responses to this ever. This is one\u00a0that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The person said that this\u00a0 frustration right now will be the memories that I will look back on later in\u00a0 life and wish that I could have back, so live in the moment and enjoy it.<\/p>\n

As I\u00a0 look at it, it makes more sense than I ever thought. In two separate instances\u00a0 in my life, my best friend was taken at a moments notice. In college, my best\u00a0 friend was on a camping trip and was playing volleyball on the banks of the\u00a0 river, the ball went into the water and he went to get it. Within 5 seconds, he\u00a0 was gone, swept away and under in the current. One second he was having fun with\u00a0 his friends, the next he was gone.<\/p>\n

Then just a few years ago, the best man in my\u00a0 wedding, my best friend was going to see his grandkids in Kansas City and was\u00a0 killed in an automobile accident on the highway. As I look back at it, I can remember the conversation we had only about two hours before the incident, we\u00a0 were planning on playing golf a few days later.<\/p>\n

Who would have ever known that\u00a0 would be the last tome I ever talked to him. The purpose of telling you about\u00a0 this is that I took what this person said about cherishing every moment, and\u00a0 brought it back into my life.<\/p>\n

I will be more patient. I don’t know if you have heard about the new program that hair salons are doing\u00a0 with cut hair. It’s pretty unique as they are taking the cut off hair and\u00a0 sending it to soak up the oil spill. They are making big nylon mops and soaking it up.<\/p>\n

Think about it, your hair absorbs oil anyway. If the hair is to\u00a0 short to donate to Locks of Love, this is a good way to use it instead of just\u00a0 tossing it away. Check it out on the web. Hopefully we will see the sun soon. I\u00a0 hear it will be summertime this weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
