Here's what you do...

Go and buy one of those Hello, my name is name tags, write Freddy, and smart creatures that they are they'll find you so completely distasteful that they'll stay away.

Promise.

(Have fun!)

Home safe, despite an incredible rip and massive waves. The sharks were a distant afterthought compared to the swell. I was legitimately scared out there.

I swam with these guys - though I confess to a very startled reaction when I looked down and one was mere inches away from me.

tony and i swam with sharks at disney-leopards and bonnet heads, rays, etc. it was awesome.
used to jump in the water when we'd go fishing in the chesa. bay, or down in va. was swimming one time and dad pulled in a shark on his line-about a 4 1/2 footer. so, i've actually been swimming with sharks that i never saw. now, that can be a bit scary.

just ate steamed blue crabs, crawfish boudin balls, and something called 'killa fries'. yeah, they were killa. probably pay for that later.

drinking a mudslide for dessert.

something to be said about living so close to the looziana border.
