Today M got certified as an openwater diver! I did a refresher couse since it had been been about 4 years since I'd dove. The water is still a bit chilly but very clear. Saw a huge lobster, didn't have gloves so didn't have lobster. But did 2 dives and it was awesome. Now we are just trying and planning a trip to the Red Sea. But till then ( Read more... )

just had a nice 2 hour conversation with a friend of mine from Lemoore. This may sound shitty but it was nice to feel loved by someone when I feel that the people I depend on have drifted away. Never thought I'd say that.

Ah, home again. We were gone for one month to get all the medical stuff done. Considering all they did and that we were at the hospital where all the wounded from Iraq come, that was quite impressive.

I met my first Crete's that were actually american at heart. Sitting at the doc's office when this very lovely older couple walk in and start chatting.

Gemini Drinking style:

much -- they're so naturally chatty and
