2 Great Articles on Phil...

I'm going to CatchCon this year even if I have to go by myself! OMG! Last April I had a ticket and knew where I had to go, but my friend who wanted to go didn't get an invite, so he couldn't go and my mom didn't want me going alone, so I didn't go. Sigh, I wish I had, but I am going this year, dang it! Hehe... here's the articles...

Captain Phil Harris - F/V Cornelia Marie (Deadliest Catch)

My thoughts and prayers are with Captain Phil Harris, his family, and friends in this tough time. I had the lucky opportunity to meet Phil several times and he is a great guy! Most recently I saw him back in September 2009 during a coffee promo for his coffee line, Captain's Reserve... Great coffee :D

Updated 8:20pm 1/30/2010 ~ Will update when I get more info...
