It figures. The wife and I are going on vacation at the beach next week in Gulf Shores AL. I'm all excited and can't wait to go surfing again, but there's a problem. My wife has this (not wholly irrational) fear of sharks. I've pretty well got her to at least go swimming with me and then last week there's an article i the paper about a shark attack that just happened in Gulf Shores and it mentions that there are currently 10 times the number of sharks normally in the waters. Oh, and to top it all off, it's now shark week on Discovery. I'll be lucky if she let's me build a sandcastle. Crap.

Tough luck!! I recently replay'd the "Anatomy of a Sharkbite" special that aired on Discovey last Summer. I didn't even realize that my Girlfriend was watching from her computer desk. Needless to say we won't be going to the beach anytime soon

The same thing happened the week before we went to Hawaii this last April. I was really excited about going surfing for the first time, but after the shark attacks had been reported, I opted for scuba diving.
