"Doing
the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is the
definition of insanity, said Alfred Einstein, maybe, but Rita Mae Brown for
sure.
Doing the same thing over and over again and merely hoping for a
different result is not the definition of insanity, but of fishing.
I said that.
I bought a package of black, plastic worms, with
which the professionals on television regularly catch largemouth bass. I
carried them in my tackle box for years, dutifully trying them each trip we
made to Lake Bomoseen, and various other places. Once or twice a bite,
but nary a bass did I catch. Until I did. It's a fine line, I
think, between insanity and perseverance.
