I'm not sure that you can really call those things "dives"!

The guy in the first one looks like he is going to be in pain for a while. And can you dive while holding your nose?? :)

Hey Ms. Creek - We did have a lot of fun that night. It's supposed to be a hot weekend here so I'm hoping to get in more swim time.

I think those do qualify as dives Blondie. If you watch the Olympics this August, I bet you will see some 3 meter "Point To The Nearest Shed" dives where the preferred entry is feet first.

I know Chewy, you would think there would be at least one cannonball. I'm going to work on those this weekend.

Ok Rubye Jean, what the heck is the "Goober Dive"? I want to see pictures of that.

Hey Samantha - Thank you for stopping by. Funny, Billy did mention something about being in a little bit of pain from his dives. Poor Bill is the only one we know who can do great flips off the board so we make him do tricks for us everytime he goes in the pool. But we reward him with beer so it's all good. Oh, and diving while holding your nose actually earns you bonus points :)

Now Boarding Rows 1 Through 10. Is There Room For Your Carry On?

Here's an interesting texting typo I created last week: And if airline seats get any smaller, I can see this being an actual problem. Can you imagine? I'm sorry ma'am, but there is no way both of you can seat in one seat. You will have to purchase an additional ticket for "her". What would happen then? Would she want the window or middle seat? That's assuming she would even want to sit next to me. I mean, we are together 24/7 so she may want a little alone time, out in the open air, where she is free of any restraint. And what if she is chatty, flapping her lips the whole time? I'm not a big talker when I travel, preferring instead to bury my head in a magazine so I can take my mind off the flight and enjoy my Ativan. I imagine the conversation going as such: She:  I hate that bike seat at spin class. You have no idea what it's like. Me:  Spin class is only 50 minutes. You can handle it. I bought you padded shorts. Those weren't     ...

What's A Girl To Do About Packing?

Salsa Shark I'm going on vacation in a few weeks to some place warm. Thought it might be a good idea today to try on my shorts. All of them, except for four pairs, somehow shrunk in my drawer over the winter. So off to the mall I went. I picked up a few pairs of shorts, along with a big new suitcase. Can somebody please tell me when a suitcase started costing between $200 and $350? Who needs ballistic nylon encasing their bathing suit and suntan lotion? Apparently a lot of folks do because the suitcases I saw could withstand any sort of attack, foreign or domestic. Nice to know if, God forbid, the plane goes down, my underwear will remain intact inside my Samsonite. I better be careful what I pack. Somethings are better not found. I finished off my evening with dinner at a Mexican restaurant. That's when the Salsa Shark appeared. If only I had handy my new suitcase that doubles as a shark cage. Oh well, maybe I can try that feature while on vacation.
