My favorite saying:

Shared pain is lessened Shared joy is multiplied

 
Good grief this is a long week!

And it's a short one too! Seems like it's taking 2 weeks to get to Friday.

Back to Costa Rica:

The Buena Vista Lodge/Canopy Tour was on Wednesday. On Thursday, it was a pool/pool bar/lazy day. At night, about 25 of us got some vans to take us into town, where they were having a celebration for a local holiday. We all walked around, looking at vendors of local goods and foods, and there were row upon row of furniture from Nicaragua, that was gorgeous, and very cheap!
By this day, we had eaten a couple of times at the "fine dining" restaurant at the resort, and the food was very very good. They do seem to undercook your beef there though. Ask for Well Done, and get Medium. Go figure. Other than that, the days were pretty uneventful.

On Friday, 5 of us went deep sea fishing on a real nice 31 foot boat called the "Hammingbird". Within 40 minutes of dropping our first line, all 5 of us had a fish! In all, we got 13 fish in the boat, and a few more that we hooked and jumped when they got to the boat. All in all, we had a GREAT time! More pictures soon.

And now, the news:

Have you ever wondered whatever happened to the plane that hit the Pentagon on 9/11? No pieces of it were EVER shown. Watch this!

Kobe Bryant reaches settlement in civil trial. Agrees to drop off money at the back door

Alas, poor Bubba, we hardly knew ye. Break out the butter

Las Vegas Mayor endorses gin to fourth graders

Ok.. this is way too funny:
Man screws nut onto penis, bolts to hospital when he can't get it off

Yahoo turns 10, gives away free ice cream at Baskin Robbins! (click for coupon)

And that's the rest of the story for today... have a good one!
