And you were most probably right.

 Yesterday a couple pulled up to the pond and unloaded a whole pack of kids that screamed and yelled and just generally were being kids. I was over at Ma's sunshade changing fly boxes and mumbling to myself.  Then my wife tells me I'm at the "Damn kids get off my lawn stage".

We've got three Hallmarks already

- Stubborn appreciation for the traditional.
- An "attitude," based on usually being right.
- Funky fishing hat.

Its a start.
