SEATTLE GETS SOCCER!

Well, not that it didn't have soccer before, but I have often wondered how it is that a city like kansas city, and even salt lake were able to get Major League Soccer before Seattle. And how was it that, up to now, San Jose was the most northerly city with a MLS soccer team? But now thats all change, because Seattle just announced their new team. I can't wait to go!

Diving In Heaven, Sort of

Its meditatively quiet, and all around you are lithe fronds swaying to some unheard but ethereal symphony. Only problem is that its COLD. So very cold. Especially if you are wearing a 15 year old wetsuit, as I was.

I am taking a series of dive courses to prepare myself for research diving, and we dove today at a site just south of Monterey, near Carmel, CA. It was BEAUTIFUL, the sort of classic kelp dive that they make movies of. I made a movie too, but its not so good. But I posted it anyway, because that is what I do.
