]]> Comment on Being underwater… by Sam Neylan http://thewanderingwaterman.wordpress.com/2008/09/25/being-underwater/#comment-83 Sam Neylan Mon, 29 Sep 2008 19:14:04 +0000 http://thewanderingwaterman.wordpress.com/?p=130#comment-83 you know, Reuben, this post is why we liked you so much as our DI. It's so enriching learning from people who actually love what they do. And, let's be honest, people loving what they do is hard to find these days. Also, I understand wanting to be underwater all the time. I've been that way my whole life. I remember your little pep talk in the pool (when I had a controlled freak out) and you said that I used to breath underwater for the 1st 9 months of my existence, in the womb, and that just given time/calm, my mind would hearken back to it. (though, i'm pretty sure i didn't have a mask in the womb) ...Maybe the love of underwater finds its' origin in utero life... Hmmm, 'utero life' has an album title ring to it. ANYway, I'm really glad that asthma is not a reality for you. Truly, I'd be so sad if you couldn't dive anymore. AND, my favorite part of the post...that LDS also looks like LDS (latter Day Saints)...it threw me off for a moment....I thought 'why would Reuben be going to an LDS church after his pool session on Sunday...and they specilaize in dive booties now? Huh. Was there a new revelation from the current church prophet?' :) Oh, have you read Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer?

And, I dig your new header photo. I'm so sad your camera was inoperable for points 1-4. I will be forced to trust you...again. Though, this time my life does not rely on it. Hey, Mike and I went out to Catalina on Monday...weird diving, but a good experience. And, thanx for your thoughts on my post re: the highschoolers assignments. I taught 7th & 8th grade ELD this week....more posts to come. Can be heavy stuff, that's for sure. nice recap….I did laugh out loud at a few parts..mostly the last part and the showering in the dark. awesome!
