New Guilty Pleasure
I’ve listened to my kids talk about Man vs. Wild alot over the past few weeks, but just started watching it with them a few days ago.
I am hooked.
In the first place, the man is good-looking, even when he’s eating a grub or killing a trout by eating it alive.
In the second place, the man is a bad ass.   (You’ll have to watch the show to see what I’m talking about.)
In the third place, the man is just plain cool. (Youngest Briton to scale Everest, after having his back broken in 3 places while in Britian’s special forces. He parachutes into dangerous locales, then has to “survive” his way out with nothing but a flint, a knife and his backpack. And he does it.)
He’s awesome. There will be a hero like him turn up shortly in one of my books. Count on it. And his name is Bear. Love that, too.

Between you and Problem Child you are trying to get me hooked on more television shows (hers is Deadliest Catch). I’m trying to have a relatively tv-free summer so maybe I can oh… WRITE! And READ!
So stop talking about good-looking men who eat grubs. Ewwwwww.

I’m telling you, Marilyn, you need to click out to the link and watch a little bit of it. Doesn’t hurt that he’s got that sexy accent going on, too.

But I never said the guys on Deadliest Catch were hot. There’s just something else…

Ah, another TV show to add to my list
But any excuse to watch a sexy man be big, bad and wild is worth it in my book.

At Pirates, they advertised a new show that y’all might like - Ice Road Drivers or something about guys who drive semi trucks across the frozen Arctic water. I can’t take that stuff.
I do like Bear, though. He’s a wealth of knowledge and I hope to never need to know any of it.

Kimberly, my kids love Deadliest Catch, too. My son tried to download episodes onto his video iPod, but can’t find them yet. Also, he’s a motivational speaker. I’m thinking you should try to get him for our next HOD meeting.
Kira, you will *love* this guy.
Jill, isn’t he the most awesome man ever???
Andrea, Bear is the bomb, but like you I hope to never need any of his survival knowlege.
