    Ha! Nice one.

    "I only date guys older than 40." Damn - 9 years to go!

    OK, real world... In 4th grade I was hit by a car doing 60 mph after I stepped off the school bus. I saw the bus driver and a good friend in the front seat as I lifted into the air - I remember in slow motion, their facial expressions and drawn out mumbles. I saw the top of the school bus before I blacked out. When I came to, my sister was dragging me out of the street as another car passed by the school bus and it's flashing red lights. My left shoe was thrown 100' away into a field and my pelvis and left leg were broken. Some bruising on my innards caused for fewer bathroom visits for awhile. I had a fever up to "drain bamaging" temps of 106 for a week. It completely altered my path in life - I think anyway, I'll never know I guess. Wait, what was I going to say... oh yeah, later we realized the childhood trauma may have caused ADD, ADHD, or AADHD but the doctors wouldn't give me any meds out of fear I would make meth with them...?? Yeah, like meth would help! Whatever...

    In the early 1970's I was Swimming for the University of Missouri. I got to swim in the same pool and race against Mark Spitz in a swimming meet. For those of you who don't know Mark Spits. In 1972 he set 7 world records and won 7 olympic gold medals in swimming at the Munich Olympics.
    I tried out for the olympic team but did not make it.

    LOL, I think more than some
    The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on me.

    I asked the Boss to reopen this thread because...

    After knowing many of you for more than a few years, I finally feel comfortable enough to share some of my experiences...

    I've been pretty much a non entity, without much to post about, until I moved to the Big Island in 1983. At that point, I became a world class beach bum, & spent the next year or so chasing the perfect wave (boogie boarding) or the highest high...

    During that time, I took scuba lessons from what would turn out to be one of the best underwater photogs that I'll ever be fortunate enough to meet...http://westphalproductions.com/

    After my first intro dive, he called me later in the day to ask what I was doing that night...being totally ignorant of where the conversation was going, I replied...nuthin. To which he replied..."good, were going night diving"
    Scared skitle$$, I was like...ummmmmm...Ok...

    That was my REAL intro to diving, I got to see stuff that most vacation divers never see. The night brings a whole new cast of characters to the reef.

    Since then, I've been fortunate enough to dive in the presence of more than a few shark species, including, but not limited to (ya just never know what's watching you while you're "down there") whale sharks, oceanic white tips, white tip reef sharks, false killer whales, manta rays, eagle rays, moray eels of the 10'+ range, & a whole bunch of other undersea critters that I can't possibly bore you with here.

    Also, around the same time, I went into business with my soon to be X brother in law (I was married to his sister)...we started a Kona Coffee growing venture that required the bulldozing of 13 acres of virgin Hawaiian rainforest...OK, I'm not proud of that, but it did lead to some world class coffee......http://clicks.superpages.com/ct/clic...konakulana.com

    Anyhoo, that's a thumbnail sketch of one of the most entertaining portions of the last 53 yrs...mebbe I'll think of more at a later time or date...
