Fisherman
Geezer Johnston just rode by on his old bicycle on the way to his favorite fishing spot on the lake. His fishing rod stuck up in the air like a radio antenna on a police car. One thing I always notice about him is the smile he seems to have tattooed on his face. He is eternally happy. Geezer whose real name is Seymore retired from his law office a few years ago. He was once the mayor of Harper, state representative, candidate for governor (he lost by less than a thousand votes), and county judge. Now he is just a fisherman.

I bet he is smiling.My mom was going to giveaway my dad's pole that I remember using in the surf since I was a little girl. I couldn't bear it. I want to have it propped up against the wall in my office.
