Thus far, 2006 travel has taken me to Cozumel for a SCUBA dive trip; Las Vegas where I saw Madonna's Confession tour concert at the MGM Grand; FIBArk (First In Boating) festival in Salida, Colorado; and a couple of camping trips in the front range Colorado mountains.  Next week, I'm going to Washington D.C., which is work related, i.e., I'm giving 3 safety and health class sessions and am inspecting the Interior Building.

 

In August, I am going to Reno for a family get-together.  Not much of a gambler, so will do my thing (people watching).   I want to go on one more Caribbean SCUBA dive trip before the end of the year, preferably in late September or October.  My dream trip - which I might do this year - is Australia . . . I already have the Frequent Flyer Mileage to get the airfare free . . . However, this type of trip I would rather do with someone else versus going alone.  Anyone interested (LOL)?

Many years ago, when I was a member of an Air Force medical rescue team, I was working out with weights, doing bench presses, with a couple of other members of the team and someone said, "Hey, I'm going to start calling you "Blade" . . . Can't believe you're so damn skinny (i.e., a grass blade he was alluding to) and can lift that much weight."  The name stuck.
