Basically there are a few events that really stick out in my mind. The most obvious of these memories was my attempt at jumping off the top of the boat. I was perched on the highest point, which must have been about 15 feet up, and as I pushed myself off my feet slipped on the wet deck and I plunged ungracefully, stomach first, into the water. Unfortunately, people were watching...and unfortunately, the fall resulted in many little bruises all across my rib cage.
As stated in a previous post, I have a slight allergy to bee stings...we decided to go for a hike one day, and all of us younger folk thought it would be much more fun to hack our way through the bushes rather than stay on the path. We were right...it was more fun, until Jake and I got stung at the exact same time, both on the leg. We both came screaming and running out of the foliage! Josh laughed heartily at this. He eventually got his own though...he sat down on a bee and got stung on his butt! Of all the people that got stung, I was the only one who swelled up...it looked as though I was sprouting another leg. There are still remnants of that sting even today...
This photo was taken "post sting"...maybe that's why Jake and I look miserable.

Bee stings, phooey! I'm sorry you got stung...
Add me to your list, add me to your list...
...and how do I get a list? I'm so bad at messing with the template. Sigh.
Sorry about the bee sting. Cortaid (which obviously has cortisone in it) also helps bee stings and mosquito bites. But you probably knew that.
Jessica, you're a real sweetheart for listing me as one of your buddies. I am most definitely reciprocating. & if I don't, I'll pay your trip to suburban Chicago to kick me anywhere you want!
HI JESS! how ya been?
