Back from England...for a few days. On Saturday I head to Aruba and then back to London on Sunday.
When I landed in Vegas last night, I thought I was in another city, like back in London. It was a whopping 74 degrees with light rain showers. It had rained quite heavily in the afternoon and early evening hours. I couldn't believe it. Remember, Vegas gets measurable rain about 5 times a year. Nice, huh? In Seattle, they rust, in Vegas, we cook.
Last weekend Brian and Rene were in town. We met up with them on Sunday and went boating on lake Mead. Rene's brother Keith bought a boat a few weeks ago. It was a lot of fun, and the water temperature was about 76 degrees that day...nice and warm. We parked the boat a couple of times in different little coves and swam around. We wanted to stay in the water so much (avoiding the near 120 degree heat outside of the water) that we even ate our sandwhiches while bobbing up and down. The bottom side of the first half of my sandwhich was dipped several times in the water, but I got it down the second time. I didn't dip it once. We also enjoyed Gumbae (sp?) Smashes while floating. It was really nice and relaxing. The sunburn on my shoulders afterwards was another story...still recovering.
Things seems to be moving right along with my schooling. I have completed the final stages of the financial aid packet and have received academic advisement. Open enrollment begins at the end of the month, and it seems everything is on schedule. I hope to get my Cessna Ground School CD-Rom today or tomorrow, so I can get started on that. I can't wait!
Has anyone read my blog entry about "under God" in the pledge? If so, I would love to hear your response. I must've stirred the pot somewhere. Since I am back on the political band wagon, Beth and I have never kept it a secret that we are prochoice. Last night on the flight from Dallas to Vegas, this passenger next to me had a book titled "Prolife Answers to Prochoice Arguments." He must be one of those advocates of the "born and unborn" phrase many would like to add to the end of the pledge.
