Out for a ride!!

Today we finally had a little...very little blue sky! So, since I had bought a nice little helmet I decided to drive downtown to get a tuneup! That didn't exactly pan out but it was fun being on the road. (Thanks to Dr. Vercios generosity!) Gotta love the scrubs, I'm a mean man!! ;-)

Our Crazy Cat

Here is a little clip of how our cat loves to hide in boxes...she just loves to be in stuff ;-)

Name that picture Update!!

No new pictures from this weekend. I just wanted to let you know what the "Eye" photo was. It is actually a Breather hole of a Giant Clam...not an eye at all. It just really looked like one when I was editing it!! Anyway, I'm sure you were all waiting with baited breath for that answer!! Ha...our weekend is almost over. We went down south to Agat to start a "Possitive Choice" seminar! I might be getter roped into yet another thing! We'll see how it all pans out! Hope everyone has a great week. Congrats to the Pierson clan with little Briana!!! Talk to you all later!!

SDA 9/11 fun run!! (5K)

Last weekend there was the 9/11 memorial fun run. We had to get up around 5:00AM and head down to the wellness center. As you would guess...at 5 oclock it didn't seem like such a good idea. Anyway, once we were there with everyone it was a lot of fun. The morning was a little rainy which turned out to be a godsend. At 5 oclock it was still warm and humid. Anyway, I'll have to check to PDN for our times. Have a great week!!

What am I

Ok, here is a little challange for you all. Lets get some guesses of what this picture is all about! Thats right...

Happy Diver & New Nudibranch!!

This Sunday Shoshanna, Eric & I went out with GTDS to do some diving. It was great weather and beautiful water. At Blue hole we saw an Eagle Ray, Turtle and a NEW NUDIBRANCH!!! Then we went to Gab Gab where we saw giant trevalies and the local tourist submarine...I'm sure I'll be in some Japanese's photo album as the "Waving diver" they saw on the submarine!! Anyway, great times and here some photos!!

China Picture Framed

Well, we went down and got a really nice frame for our Changdu picture. It look very nice and matches the livingroom great!! You can't quite tell, but he frames is bamboo which matches the painting!!

Goodbye to Wendy

Well, Wendy's (Shoshanna's Mom) one month in Guam has already come in gone. It went awefully fast. No more already cooked lunches and dinners for a while!!! We had a great time, and she help spruce up our home a little. I'm pretty sure she is on a first name basis with everyone at Ross!! I hope she had a good trip home.

On Sunday the weather cooperated very nicely so we decided to do a little diving!! Here are a few Nudies we saw while blowing bubbles...bubbles, my bubbles ;-) I also had a great picture of Shoshanna playing in the grass with her scuba gear on...but I would rather not sleep on our couch for the next week. Cheers

Bananas................

Banana Tree....Ha, after a year or so I now have my own Banana patch and it looks like we'll have a few bananas too!!! We'll see!

New Home Decor

Since Shoshanna's mom Wendy has been visiting, the ladies have gotten into the decorating spirit. As you can see we have new vases with twisting willows, a new matching rug at a wild angle, plants, bowls...the list goes on. While I drudged to work alone (Queue the Violin) they went on joy filled shopping sprees, spending all my hard earned money.......I think I'm sounding like my dad? I'm sure you just felt like you heart was yanked out, but don't shed a tear on my account!! I'll recover... eventually, and the house actually looks quite nice ;-) Anyway, enjoy a few quick photos.

First Nitrox Dive

It was also the first time diving under the fuel pier. It was kinda cool weaving in and out of the support pylons. A few school of big fish were under there as well. I kept piering over my shoulder hoping to see a Tiger shark but no luck. We did we a few nudibranchs...none new but there fun to find anyway. I would get into my Nitrox dive, O2%'s, etc....but I really don't think anyone reading this cares...Ha :-) Enjoy the photos.

Nudies for Heather & Mom

Ok, Mom wanted some new underwater photos. Here is a new one from one of our last few dives!!

2nd Guam Plane Crash

Well, today I did one of my deepest dives yet, max 160 ft. It was a lot of fun, sharks, crinoids and various other schools of fish. On the way back I saw my second Guam plane incident!!! It appeared that the pilot of this Cessna (To whom I met on the beach) had engine trouble and couldn't make it to the airport. He did manage to do a great water landing about 40 feet of shore. All 3 on board were fine and tow trucks were waiting on the beach...I'm still not quite sure what they were going to do. Anyway, good times in Guam :-)

Dancing Around the World...Good Times!!

No aquintance to Matt, I just thought his video was a great idea and a little nostalgic for travelers that have been around the world!!
