Coming Up For Air

Dan survived the first day of his scuba testing. I was perhaps irrationally concerned that he would possibly try to see out of his regulator and breathe through his mask. He didn't. He did everything perfectly as he always does and had a great time. We were all a little uncertain (even DAN!) because the water was 55 degrees, which is pretty cold. I stuck my feet in the ocean last weekend and it was no joke. He was told by his uncouth comrades to pee in his wet suit. This would require him to excrete waste, which is of course, not something we would ever expect him to do. So even that desperate route was closed to him. He said, though, that it wasn't that cold -- apparently whatever water gets into your wet suit gets warmed up and then stays there.

Anyway, he is all fine and is going back tomorrow to complete his test. What, scuba diving on Mother's Day? Yes, I am the coolest wife ever.
