Today's Question(s):
When you were in school, what activities did you participate in: plays? science fair? spelling bee? I did once I think. I'm a decent speller but, I didn't come close to winning it for my grade. debate? band/choir? other? Football, basketball (team ballboy etc.) and track (2 mile run)
Bonus Question: You have one hour to just relax anywhere on the planet. Where will you chill out? That is a very tough one because I know of so many really neat places. Either the Inland Passage in Alaska or the Sognefjord in Norway. Both were incredibly peaceful and beautiful nature wise.
Just for Fun: This is Shark Week, when The Discovery Channel devotes a whole week to all things shark. Shark Week : Discovery Channel
Many people I know wait all year for this week! If you have access to The Discovery Channel, do you get excited, and watch any of the Shark Week shows? I don't know if the hotel I'm staying at offers access. I don't watch shark shows. I've seen them while scuba diving and, that was exciting enough!
If you don't have access to anything like that, would you be interested in a whole week of shows about sharks? Nope. Sharks are one of the dangers of scuba diving. Thankfully, divers have more options than swimmers. We can hug the sea floor making it harder for them to get at us. We can blast them with some of the air in our tank. I have my dive knife to strike them with though who knows how much good that would do even though it is sharp!

Shark Week : Discovery Channel
Many people I know wait all year for this week!
If you have access to The Discovery Channel, do you get excited, and watch any of the Shark Week shows? Hmmm... I watch Discovery Channel, but I didn't know about the shark show. Why is that so exceptional?
