It was the best of times: What a beautiful day on the water with my father. Water smooth, sun bright in a crystal clear blue sky. Spotted some classic sailboats on the water. Easy to see all the way to Manhattan. Nice to see the Freedom Tower. Boat ran great, not too fast, because, what's the rush on a day like today?
It was the worst of times: couldn't scare up a single fish. I bet if I went to the fish market, they would have refused me service. No Fish For You!
