today, my thoughts kept drifting to the television program "deadliest catch." this week's episode, as will the next several, had me in tears... one of the captains, phil harris, has had a stroke. this captain, and father of two young men actually passed away in the winter, but due to the television cycle, the shows are airing now. it's a reality show, and it's about crab fishermen on the bering sea. these are tough guys, in harsh weather, doing a tough job (and yeah sometimes getting the great bucks), but they are so down to earth, they have captured my heart and imagination, especially phil, i think because he works with his sons. other boats work with brothers, cousins, husbands and wives, but the interaction of phil, josh and jake just touches me. he was a man who loved his life and loved his sons. i'm sure they know that, but what i hope they realize someday is how much so many of their fans loved sharing their time together.
what's gonna be next??? friday and a LONG weekend!!! weeding, spraying and quilting!
