Fishflies and marriage.

[Glenn McCullough]

Fish fly season is upon us and they are the reason I met and married Sherrie 33 years ago today. I tell this story every fish fly season.
Went to Metro beach back in the day to hang out with my friend, Danny Mahaz. We saw three girls also hanging out, not too far away. We didn't approach them as there were three of them and only 2 of us, one would be left out, so we figured they would not be interested. Soon after, they all left and two came back as one girl hated the fish flys all over, called her Mom to come get her. The other girls two came back. We went and met them and Sherry stole my heart. 33 years later, here we are, still crazy about each other and I am so thankful there are fish flys.

People outside of the lakes who don't get fishflies, just don't realize how much they suck!
When twilight hits and the swarm comes inland, it's like the locusts are attacking. haha

Here's a gas station wall about 3 miles from the lake, about twice as far away as I live and it only gets worse as you get closer to the water. Stores with bright lights, like Blockbuster video and gas stations, have to use snow shovels to remove them before opening!!

Congrats!

My brother in law lives in New Baltimore off 26 mile.
We were outside enjoying a few beers and a cigar, with only a porch light on.. The light seemed to get dimmer, and I just thought it was the beers.. Then it was dark.
Damn fishflies! They covered the entire light in 2 minutes at best.
Amazing.

Love it. I met my wife in 3rd grade. 25 years for us this month.
Some day when I get to retire, I want to write a book on how "normal" people met their spouses. I could care less how celebritites met. I want to here about real love and happiness and longevity. Many marriages these days are so temporary, especially celebs.
