I've done a lot of fishing this year, and had a great time. I've had one trip the Neah Bay catching Halibut and Kings, one trip out of Westport where we caught a lot of Tuna, and now it looks like a trip to Ketchikan, Ak. A friend and mentor here at work dropped by yesterday and said he had already paid for a guided fishing trip to Ak, and he's too busy to go. He offered it to me if I could go and looks like I am going.

On one hand I'm very excited, and that level of generosity I am very appreciative for, but I kind of feel bad taking such a nice trip. On the other hand I know he can't go and it will be wasted if I don't go.....so for sure I'm going but figure I better get him a very nice x-mas present
