Scuba Diving
I just finished my scuba diving certification on Tuesday. I'm totally ready for my next dive. My parents are coming down to visit me for the holidays. They are both certified so we are going on a boat dive together once they get settled in. -
Some Say I'm Flighty
I realized back at Thanksgiving that I've been doing a lot of flying this year. I'm in Baltimore right now and will be flying back to St. Thomas in a couple of hours.

Prop 8 (again)
The following video seems to have been making rounds all over Facebook. I just want to make sure that gets out to even more people. Keith Olbermann is my new hero.

I'm an Addict
I started my scuba diving certification today. I had a great first dive. I got to feed some yellow-tailed snapper and played with an arrow crab. I ended up going down to 45 feet without realizing it.
I'm in the middle of the night (again) and this time I can't get back to sleep because of the scuba excitement. I can tell this new obsession is ( Read more... ) -
