Hey Patrick. Good to see you. Had dinner a couple weeks ago at McCormick & Schmicks on Lake Union. Still decent food and a $1,000 view.

Hey Slevin!! How the heck you been? All is good here, just waiting for that winter chill to really kick in :-) Who says fishing is part luck??? mmail.com.my Swordfish kills fisherman in freak accident By ALINA SIMON ALOR STAR, Nov 22: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A fisherman from Langkawi was killed when a todak (swordfish) flew out of the water and stabbed him in his right eye last Saturday night. Adnan Walid, 39, of Kampung Limbungan in Kuah, suffered serious injury when a piece of the fish's beak broke off and embedded in his brain. It is learnt that the beak missed his eyeball but pierced his brain. Although the victim pulled the fish, measuring about 0.3 metre, out of his eye, a piece of its beak broke off and was left inside. His friend rushed him to the Langkawi Hospital at 1am, but Adnan was transferred some six hours later to Alor Star Hospital by ferry. Adnan died without regaining consciousness at the hospital at 4pm yesterday. “It was a freak accident. We've heard of people being injured by the fish but I think this is the first time I heard of someone being killed. It is unusual,” said Adnan’s friend, who declined to be named, at the hospital mortuary. Adnan’s wife, Mariah Abdullah, 34, said her two sons, Mohd Salleh and Bukhari, aged 14 and 12 respectively, acted strangely when they tried to dissuade her husband from going out to sea last Saturday. “He was preparing to go out at 8pm when they clung to him and begged him to stay home as the wind was too strong. It is the first time they acted like that but I didn't think much of it,“ said the housewife. Adnan's remains were later taken back to Langkawi for burial.
