Today EADJ will be trying something different. Let's open the latest issue of Mid Atlantic Fisherman and see what's keeping all those fishermen from being truly happy:


* Ric is four car payments behind as of last Thursday, and his gout is acting up again. Also, the Blockbuster near him is closing, and he doesn't want to spring for DirecTV.


* As a child, Ruta had been promised a trip to Disneyland many times, but she was never taken. It still pains her to see photos of Cinderella's castle.


* Rick has come to the conclusion that he will never understand women. The movie "Nights In Rodanthe" was confusing to him.


* Martin yearns for the day that he can look outside and not see his neighbor's children dealing drugs on the corner.


* Don keeps hearing how good that television "Glee" is, and he's actually recorded all of the episodes on his DVR, but he recently found out from his daughter that he's probably too old to appreciate it.


* Jim can't get over the guilt of strangling that Cracker Barrel waitress.


* Kip is still wondering why all his high school buddies keep avoiding him, and what he did so long ago that they won't forgive him for. He's too embarrassed to ask one of them what it was.


* Mitchell's sister moved without telling him or leaving any forwarding number.


* And Mitchell's sister owes him a lot of money for helping her through nursing school. He sticks his neck out for her, and this is the thanks he gets?
