Cindy and I showed up just as this was in progress. 

He was all sheets to the wind, not just three of them [laugh]

Stella makes our introductions-

Polly: "This is Randy and I'm Polly, his handler."

He said something but I couldn't understand.

It was a lot like:

Crazy Cat Lady being crazy

Strikingly similar, actually.

Not sure if he was throwing cats.  You had a bunch there, so I suppose that's possible

;D
a bunch of...

drunks? [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

It was fun...eh?

8 out of 10 Care Bears and Rocking Horses agree.

They tease you because they like you.

AJ, Elyse, pack your bags.  Will pick you up on the way to the islands.  We can hang 30.
[thumbsup]
My bag is packed, I'm wearing a cheesy aloha shirt & flip flops...I'm ready to roll!

You should bring Brian along and hang 53.
[laugh] and he'll probably be a better surfer than me





p.s. let's leave the care bear, coy rocking horse, cat throwing, and speaking in tongues on the mainland, shall we?
;D

It was great meeting "The Dude" at long last.   She brought us some epic beer.

I think that night was the best sparkler dance number I have ever seen.

I'm usually no one's handler but my own -
which is a significant challenge in itself.

But on that particular night,
at that particular Rosetta Stone moment....

there was a need to put the handler hat on.   [laugh] 

Yup, still an EPIC weekend to look back on.   [thumbsup]  [beer]

And.....

back on topic:

I swam yesterday (w/a few stops) the farthest yet.  1,300 meters.    Yay me, right?

Yeah, I felt really good about that until my friend, who is part gazelle, part fish, part athletic freak w/o having to do anything
shared this morning that she swam 3,000 meters.  Before 7am (and she has 3 kids under 8 years old).   Love/hate her.

[roll]    ;)
