Shit's all sorts of different now.

Him spoofing or host spoofing?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But I would have replied to anything out there.

THAT'S JUST WRONG. People should not be sending and responding to work emails at all hours just because they can.

YES PLEASE.

Yeah, except on the awards, it'll be like David Spade in a g-string. Ew.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

yeah, I was thinking they'd probably get Andy Dick.

okay. brain needs bleach.

why must natter always end up with the ick. I usually blame ita, but this time, I'm blaming Jesse and msbelle. No nice stewards for you come January.

C'mon, you know that is what MTV would do. OK maybe they could get that tri-named guy something william scott, that wouldn't be so bad to see.

this week's criminal mind is disturbing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

msbelle, bringing the ick. You go, girl.

People should not be sending and responding to work emails at all hours just because they can.

It's because I worked at home, sadly. Gets hard to turn off.

I've had the Caymans and the Honduras (islands not mainland) recommended as good Caribbean dive spots. I'm tentatively planning 2006 travel -- opinions on places to get certified?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Pre-trip cert?

I did Sports Chalet and they had excellent instructors. Also let me gear up and get in the pool to check if I would freak out before I commited and paid.

Really good instructors.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Aurelia, I sent you something to your gmail address. Did you get it?

opinions on places to get certified?

Belize has a great reef I've heard is to die for. Hopefully not literally. The Bahamas has great diving, and there's nothing like seeing a piranha attracted to your tank. But it's pretty deep which is scary for new divers, I think.

I would say learn in cold water that way anywhere you go will be excellent. Plus you get street cred for being a california shore diver and not some wimpy resort diver.

My current (very young) plan is to take lessons here, and do the certification dive somewhere warm and not here. Because I am shallow and a wuss. What's the buffer around air travel and diving again?
