"G" is govern

By denying himself the "sweet life" proposed by Jack, Ennis is letting societal expectations govern his life.

"H" is hooking

The "fishing trips" Jack and Ennis shared were the only opportunities they had for hooking up.

Thanks, it's nice to be back.

For Jack, the intervals between fishin' trips were intolerably long.

"L" is lessens

A couple of fishin' trips every year lessens the drabness of life for Jack and Ennis.

Jack and Ennis are able to maintain their relationship on a few high altitude trysts once or twice a year.

"N" is nixing

Jack was having to make do with the occasional fishin' trip, as Ennis was nixing his ideas for something more.

"O" is overtook
« Reply #12397 on: April 08, 2007, 10:08:53 am »
In May of 1983, Jack and Ennis overtook a black bear as it was rolling a log over looking for grubs.  Jack reached for his .30-06, but the started bear ran away.

Looking at Paul's tulips, reminds me:  To plant your own cyber flower garden, click here .  Then use your mouse to click any black area.

Jack wanted more than fishin' trips, but Ennis would not relent.
