Slap Happy Snappy...

I have no idea what I was going to say. The page opened, I started going for the keys....then, nothing. So a little filler for the masses. The weekly, bimonthly, and subannual updates:

The Masr's Status in the Arfica Cup, just accelerated forward, and everyone is excited. This all happened after a great Ultimate game in the park. Rerealizing the blisters, big smile, quads and hamstrings burning, Jenny and I hammer a beer and head for the Cafe for the game of Egypt vs. Congo. And holy shit was it awesome. The whole game had a total of 5 scores and Egypt put em all in. Unfortunately one was in our own goal, but when youre on a roll, youre on a roll.!!



Dr Lynn was actually at the game, which I forepassed in high hopes of a frisbee match, which I got.


Next is the ferry that sunk off the Saudi coast with 1400 egyptians on board. 300 lived. Lesson: dont buy that boat. It doesnt float so well...ever, as other countries were selling them because of that reason right there.

Diving on the Red Sea was great fun, and this was the liveaboard that was a large part of the happiness. I love the Thistlegorm!


When you hike in the Desert and theres mountains, you should climb them, then wash your hair:


This was Umm Shaumar, a spectacular event.


If you havent noticed, this is sorta going in reverse non-dated unchronological anti-order. Im not British.

I cut the living shit out of my big toe in a taxi today. And last night the discovery I was hoping would never surface, surfaced: I have a pinky toe nail that is full size. Actually these things come in pairs. "Full Size" meaning that its the same as my fingernail. Most people I have noticed have the darwin toenail, thats disappearing because of the entire lack of use it presents. Well, folks, mine gets used a plenty, so watch out!!

I dream of whitewater and "Murder She Wrote" and flying for some odd reason, and Im good at it. So thats a little comforting....
