I just found out today that I’ll be going on a trip with my Dad to Alaska for a week next month. I went ahead and purchased my ticket, so I’m commited now. We’re staying at his friend’s house near Kenai. Also, another friend (friend of my dad’s friend) owns a fishing boat. He’s offered to take us out on the ocean to do some halibut fishing. Whoo-hoo! I’m excited as hell about this trip!

(Some of y’all may be receiving some “gloat” pictures in your email mid-August. Keep your eyes open for them! ;))

What an a **lure** ing tail! Just for the **halibut** I **fish** you would drop us a **line**. I’d fall for that **hook, line & sinker**. Don’t forget to tip your boat captain a **fin** , or he’ll get **crab** by and **net** er take you out again, so you should change your **tuna** on that one, I’d hate to think of you **flounder** ing out there.
