Henry David Thoreau wrote that a lot of men fish all their lives without ever realizing that fish isn't really what they're after. That, in one sentence encapsulates the theme of Lines, Tines & Southern Pines. The author skillfully articulates what is truly derived from growing up in the outdoors and the mysteries in the woods and beckoning waters of lakes, streams and ponds. He entertains and moves us artfully in crafting the companionship and closeness of a Grandfather, Dad, Mom, family, friends and provides insights about the true essence of nature and the powerful yet peaceful effect it can infuse within those receptive to its charms.

I remember reading the story of a commercial airline pilot whose copilot asked him why, on one of their regular routes, he always looked down and sighed at the same place on a tiny river each time they passed over it. He replied that when he was a small boy he would be sitting down there on a log, fishing, when planes would fly over, and he would wish with all his heart that he were up there flying the plane. But now that he was grown and flying, all he wished for with all his heart was that he could be that small boy again, back down on that log fishing. For anyone who loves the outdoors and craves to go back and be that small boy or girl again, reliving the joy and innocence of a blessed childhood well lived in the outdoors with loved ones now gone, Corey has stories that will take you back in your mind to those times in your life, and bring smiles to your face, and maybe tears to your eyes.
