Seeking New Readers:

My ideal date must love deep sea fishing because that is my life’s work and passion. A knowledge of sail boats is also a plus. On our first date we can go out on my small, but comfortable, skiff. Although the sails are patched with flour sacks, it is a reliable boat. Maybe you will bring me good luck because once, for 87 days, I went without a catch, and I don’t want that to happen again. We can sail the Caribbean together, looking for the biggest fish. A long time ago I almost had him but he was eaten by sharks. I will introduce you to my young friend and apprentice, the boy Manolin. He is like the son I never had. He gives me a report on American baseball every morning. Do you like baseball? My favorite player is the great Joe DiMaggio. But the most important thing you should know about me is that I enjoy a challenge and I refuse to give up until I have achieved my goal. Are you be willing to help me?
