A friend asked that I post some reviews of places I have dived and some comments on Sport Diver magazine’s suggested list of Diving and Resorts (2007 Edition). My response got a little wordy, but it may interest anyone contemplating travel to the Caribbean. More after the fold…
This looks like a pretty useful list of applications for iPhone users. http://www.macworld.com/2007/08/firstlooks/iphone_apps/
So I am standing outside Merrifield Garden Center today, loading my latest garden plant purchases into the car when a lemon yellow Lamborghini Countach 5000S pulls up, parks diagonally across two handicapped spaces, and the driver jumps out and heads into Merrifield. I was joking with a friend I ran into in the parking lot […]
Erci and I don’t go in for regular tanning sessions normally, but we’ve discovered a little trick for preventing a vacation sunburn when going someplace tropical. For a few weeks before the vacation/trip, we visit a tanning salon locally a few times a week to build up a “base coat” of protective melanin. It probably […]
Well, Erci and I hosted Dan’s 40th Birthday Bash per arrangement made with Dan and Jeff a few months ago and it was a blast. We had something on the order of 60 people out, enjoying some Contra Dancing, some time in the pool, a lot of Erci’s cooking (Tiger Cried, yummmm!), and the company […]
Finally found a pool service company that understands we want to swim in the pool this year, and I am very happy with Pool Boys. La Belle folks swam in cloudy water on Saturday (which was the first swimming we’ve been able to do this year), and Sunday the pool cleared up enough to see […]
While I am not feeling very positive about our nation lately, I can at least celebrate being independent minded and having the freedom to express myself how I like. I went to the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in DC with my partner, , and enjoyed the heat, crowd, cultural exchange, and like-minded people. I was annoyed […]
Friday, I pushed the limits of my stressed foot by dancing at The Ballroom Studio in Centreville, Darryl worked with me on Argentine, Quickstep, and Samba; then there were group classes and then a dance party (which was lots of fun). Capped a fabulous evening off with Haddock at Sweetwater with dancers. All this while […]
This is a proxy review of my partner’s brand new iPhone. I am impressed. My biggest concern was that this new “smart” phone would have loads of features and suck as a phone. This would be like 99% of the “smart” phones on the market and thus no big surprise. I am thrilled to announce […]
As predicted, the update to AppleTV was available this morning and I downloaded and installed the update via remote control… it took about 12 minutes. YouTube is now a menu option and we enjoyed some Robo Chicken Star Wars spoofs as a test. Navigation of YouTube is going to be interesting; I have to figure […]
