I now get to experience Shark Week.
At this discovery, my Husband was shocked & became flabbergasted that we could even be married.
I guess at the One-Year Mark is when the darkest secrets come out.
(I'll have to recap our One-Year Celebrations. There were Saturday Markets, a Butcher Shop, Baskets of Fruits, Pike Place, & Gifts.)
As it is now the 25th anniversary of Shark Week (WHAT!?) I've decided to dive right in & bite the surfer.
I did run into a bit of a problem when I discovered my co-operator does not favor sharks--at all. Since she is now out of the office for the rest of the week, my first experience with Shark Week will start today, Wednesday, & be had during work hours (830-5).
Now I do not own a TV. We do have an xbox & a projector, so we are mostly content to rent from Netflix & watch Hulu except at times such as during the Olympics or Shark Week. Then I sometimes feel like I'm missing out on the world; thank goodness for Google to keep me updated!
So in preparation for the week, I Googled:
In searching out the schedule of shows, I stumbled upon this awesome Link to help create excitement!

Feeling prepared (starting at 9am) I tune into the Discovery Channel's Shark Week program to experience a whole new world:
Wednesday's theme it seem were shows featuring Shark Attacks & the Survivor's Stories.
In the morning they featured Ocean of Fear. The terrific documentary about the survivors of the sinking of the USS Indianapolis & terrible shark attack.
In the afternoon they featured a beautiful & shocking reconstructed documentary of the 1957 holiday season attacks on a coastal community. A hodge podge of survivor stories were featured to bring my Shark Week Wednesday to a close.
What I've learned--Sharks are predators--but not in the way Bears, Snakes or Hawks are considered dangerous--these creatures of the sea are mysteriously powerful & if hungry will not hesitate to take a bite or your life. Shark Week is AWESOME.
Sadly I cannot watch the main episodes...but I love the shows descriptions & look forward to viewing them via replays!
