The picture above is of Guy and Thomas on our halibut fishing trip this past 4th of July.  My boss generously paid for us to go on this trip.  Ezra stayed home, but I think he would have had fun if he had gone.  Thomas ended up getting seasick, not overly so, just queasy.  The seas were flat and there was no wind.  The fishing was good, too. Everyone caught their limit.  It was the first time I had ever been on a fishing trip, too, like Thomas.  It was fun.

Things are going well.  It's been a cool summer this year and it seems as if everything is running a few weeks late.  Not all that much going on other than work.  Haven't seen any more bears lately, but I think a lot of them are sticking closer to the streams now that the fish are running good.  A girl on a bike trail in Anchorage was mauled about a week or so ago. Haven't heard how she is doing, but she was in kind of bad shape when they got her to the hospital. 

I've received the final proof of my book in the mail.  It's the actual book - at least what it's going to look like once all the little "things" are fixed.  I'm going through it now with a red pen and marking any mistakes that there might be.  The book is bigger than I thought it would be.  Pretty cool. :)

That's it for now.  I'll post more later.  Hope everyone had a safe and happy fourth of July. :)
