It looks like I'm gonna be going out on a research cruise aboard the Western Flyer for five days. Taking a tour of that ship last year helped me make up my mind to quit my job, move, and go back to school. I don't even know what the hell it is that we're gonna be doing on the ship or where we'll be going but, knowing MBARI, it'll be cool and involve crazy sea critters. I love me some crazy sea critters.
Pigtails and I had our first ocean dive for our research diving class today. She made me proud. We had to remove our masks on the bottom while sharing a regulator several times and she was a trooper. She had a lot of trouble clearing her mask but she didn't freak out even once. She just kept at it until she got it. This is the same girl that was afraid to go in the ocean at all a year and a half ago.
It's my birthday today. I'm old now.
