Tonight on Discovery Channel's reality series Deadliest Catch, we say goodbye to Captain Phil Harris (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Harris_%28fisherman%29). After suffering a stroke in late January of 2010, he passed away Tuesday, February 9 2010. In trailers for the upcoming episode of Deadliest Catch, the Discovery Channel chose Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Tuesday's Gone" as the music. I don't know if this song was chosen because of which day of the week Phil left us.
I've been a fan of the show and its crews since its beginning and like many other fans, I am curious about the fate of Capt. Phil's vessel, the Cornelia Marie, and her crew. Especially Phil's sons Jake and Josh. It was just prior to Phil's massive stoke, that younger son Jake admitted to having a substance abuse issue.
But this Tuesday evening is going to be a sad one as we say farewell and Godspeed to Captain Phil Harris. While watching this evening I will hoist a glass in his honor.
