Dinner and a Dress Rehearsal

Tonight I am having dinner with an old co-worker and I can hardly wait since she is one of my favorite people on earth. Although she is 20 years my senior, she is so much fun to be around and makes me laugh hysterically. In fact, she is the only person that can make me laugh until my sides ache. We don’t see each other as often as we would like and there really isn’t an excuse for it. I guess we both become consumed with our lives, but once we reconnect, the fun begins and we wonder why we wait so long to get together.

And to top off what I know will be a fun evening, we are going to attend a dress rehearsal for West Side Story at the Stratford Shakespearean Festival (yes, I know WSS was not written by Bill Shakespeare); however other plays are also performed there. Anywho - she works at the Festival and is pulling some strings for us to see it. Yippee!

As she was running down the standard list of questions (i.e. do you smoke, how much do you drink, is there any history of heart problems in your family), she ask...

Snot Bubbles and Wedgies...

Scuba diving can be the most relaxing, peaceful experience of your life – no cell phones, no boss and no noise, except for your own bubbles; however it can be a sport that is not for the faint of heart – rough waters, sharks and crushing depths. If you are self-conscious, shy or weak of stomach, scuba diving may not be for you. Let me explain… Warning: The following may be overly descriptive. Read on at your own risk… The scuba wetsuit. There is nothing glamorous about squeezing a size 8, 10, 12 body into a size 8 neoprene wetsuit, while sweating under the Caribbean sun. It’s sort of like trying to put a sock on while your foot is still wet. Scuba diving professionals may tell you, that neoprene doesn’t shrink, but those people are liars. What they are really trying to do is make you feel good about yourself – selfish bastards. I am living proof that my wetsuit has shrunk on numerous occasions – usually over the winter months. Coincidence? I think not. The wedgie. This un...
