.joe and i would like the opportunity to fish with you
this year...

Hey, I'm honored by your invitation! I gratefully accept.

not yet had the opportunity to learn a few things from you about fishing
your streams.

I'm afraid you'll be disappointed at how little you can learn from me.
I'm not being modest when I say I'm a damn poor fisherman.

we'll be at the "carolina cabin" above cherry run
and blue rock hole, perhaps you'd privilege us with a morning or evening
of your camaraderie...drinks are on us.

It will be my pleasure. What day are you arriving?
