- I went on vacation. It was great.
- Someone smart told me that I have food agression. This is because I do not like it when people watch me eat, and also because I eat a LOT on vacation. (Still, I lost three lbs. Boooo.)
- I finished my PADI Open Water Diver course in the Turks and Caicos Islands.
- Snorkeling is still awesome. I like how easy it is.
- Some things that I saw underwater in the wild and physically touched - A sting ray, a barracuda, a star fish, a conch, a parrot fish, and a tiger grouper.
- One thing I saw underwater that I did not touch - a nurse shark.
- Club Med is famous for its crazy hand sign dancing. At 9:45pm a crowd always gathers in front of the stage to dance. The dance moves are simple - think The Macarena. Our whole family did it every night. My favorite was a song from Mexico that involved boxing.
- I noticed that the people who go to Club Med are a lot smarter than the people who go on Carnival Cruise. I met lawyers, doctors, professors, and entrepreneurs at Club Med. On our cruise I met retired people and drunk students.
- My mom picked the Turks and Caicos resort because we could fly there direct from Atlanta. Delta has direct flights from Atlanta to Providenciales. No layovers = awesome.
- I read The Da Vinci Code. It was a good work of fiction and I am glad that I read it. Most incredibly, however, is the response I got from other people while I was reading The Da Vinci Code. I have **never** read a book that introduced me to so many random people. I probably met ten new people because they saw me reading the book and wanted to talk about it.
- Did anyone see Dave Chappelle on CNN with Anderson Cooper? Chappelle is RIPPED now! Look at his arms - they are full of muscles. Dude used to swim in his street clothes.
Update 1 - Check out this great 15-minute speech from
Sir Ken Robinson at the
TED 2006 conference (
MP3). He talks about education - I loved it.
