up in the rafters

---------------------

This is a photograph of the northeast corner of Au Train Lake.  The ice continues to melt and recede, but most of the lake is still covered with ice.

It's a nice sunny day, but temperatures are still on the cool side.  I walked to Cameron Crossing today.  There was a fisherman preparing for some Steelhead fishing.  At Doucette Bridge, I saw some folks getting ready to launch their kayaks.

"No, Son, that's not nothin'.  I can only wish you were doin' nothin'.  Nothin' would be a big step up from this.  Compared to this, nothin' gets your name on a banner high up in the rafters of the high-school gymnasium.  So, no, it's not nothin'.  It's the quality of the somethin' that I'm wondering about."
