2. oh sweet sweet sweet

I didn't know it was starting so soon--yay!

(P.S. I heard on PBS that the BBC version was narrated by Sir David Attenborough. Nothing against Alec Baldwin--he does a ton of documentary narration and is very good at it--but why why why would they make that change just because of an American audience? Still, I'm super excited about seeing this. It's going to be awesome. Thank you so much for the reminder!)

4. I would love to go some polar expeditions.

There is nothing more exhilarating then going to all the hard to get to places of the world...the animals along the way, the mountains, the ice, waterfalls, and unexpected beautiful sites.

7. I'd never go anywhere that cold

What's more we'd never see what we're watching on Frozen Planet.
They took a year for some of those scenes.
It was magnificent.

9. I often tour Google Earth looking at pictures

in all these wild places...Believe me, I am saving up as much as possible for these kinds of trips! My wife would rather go to the beach though! I will find a compromise...

6. I've been watching! It's fantastic and sometimes exciting when someone is trying not to be someone

else's next meal. Just wish I could have recorded it.

I saw it a few weeks ago in an environmental science class.
