Exciting Ways To Die

I had a strange dream last night. I was hiking with someone, I'm not sure who it was. Suddenly we were surrounded by a triangle of terror. An angry bull moose, grizzly bear and mountain lion. It was a stare down. So I fumble with my pack to get out my camera to take a video of the impending doom. I remember thinking, "If I am going to die in such a spectacular way, someone's got to know about it!" Funny thing is that I took video of the animals then turned off my camera so by actual demise was not recorded. It turned out that we just stayed there in a stand off and then my dream fizzled.

Sailing Away and Smiling Fish

I went on a vacation recently where I stayed for a week on a 40-foot catamaran sailboat. We sailed around a few of the Virgin Islands and stayed for a couple days in a hotel on St. Thomas. Overall it was a good vacation but the thing I remember most about the trip are these painting I saw. Paul and I ended up at an art gallery on St. John and this woman had large paintings with lots of fish and turtles and they were all wearing smiles - every single one. I wish I could have taken one home with me :).
