Celebrity sighting

Oh my goodness, I forgot to post about my Bear Grylls sighting from Friday! Bear is this British mountain climber and explorer who has a show on the Discovery Channel called "Man vs. Wild." And he's, erm, quite attractive. (Don't raise your eyebrows at me...D knows all about my Bear obsession!)

A friend of mine is in town from Minneapolis so I skipped out on the fishing this weekend to hang out with the gang downtown. And who do I see walk into the outdoor area of Humpy's? Um, BEAR GRYLLS! I thought to myself, "that man bears a remarkable resemblance to Bear" before dropping my jar and realizing it was actually the man himself. I snapped a few across-the-patio papparazzi shots (he's the one in green):


No, I did not squeal in a high pitched voice or sprint over to Bear's table for a photo (both are actual behaviors exhibited by some "ladies"). I was impressed by us Alaskans -- for the most part everyone left Bear alone and let him enjoy a pint of beer (and hand-rolled cigarettes) in peace.
