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 :)

Embarrassing Work Moment # 94

I peed on my pants leg today at work. I'm a squatter. I know sitting on a public toilet will probably not bring me irreparable harm, but it just skeeves me to no end. Hovering can be tricky business however - one rogue stream as I had today and you've got yourself a pair of pee pee pants. Luckily this happened at the end of the day. It did prolong my day however, as I wanted to sit at my desk for a bit, hoping the spot would fade prior to my leaving the building. And, as it turns out, it was a particularly crowded day on the campus, with students moving in for the fall semester. Hopefully no one noticed as I quickly walked behind the buildings to the parking lot, glancing behind and down as I walked to make sure the offending spot was not standing out too much. Maybe I should keep a spare pair of pants in my office from now on.

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.
