Three Weeks in Three Minutes

I've been late, and since I just wrote a brief e-mail detailing what I've done the last three weeks, I though I would co-opt part of the e-mail and at least get something up so that my Mom (she is wonderful!) would have something to read when she checks in the morning.

Let's see, giving a brief mention to what I do while down here.

• Three weeks ago I drove 5 1/2 hours to visit my Uncle, Aunt, and two friends from Switzerland.That had a NICE room rented for the week (I only stayed two days) and it was nice visiting with family and friends. I had some loverly conversations with Aunt Angie and the hottub was wonderful. I actually went to sleep in it briefly.
  

• The week after I went scuba diving and found 54 sharks teeth, lots of shells, and spent way too much money buying junk. Having little fish nibble on my ears was an experience.

• Last week I went snorkelling to try out a shorty wetsuit. It was boring, dark, and raining so I quit early.

• Now? I'm taking a break this weekend and recovering from Aikido. I bruised my thumb muscles Saturday morning from giving too many wristlocks. Wristlocks are tricky... I really have to grab and sqeeze and I bruised my thumb muscles from too much pressure. Being gentle is NOT an option or our Sensei will spot it and demonstrate a proper wristlock to the failing individual. No one wants that. :-)
