Susan is my Femme, my best Friend - She is so in touch with her feelings. Let's go to Florida, she said.
Our parents didn't have a choice most of the times. We do. Like the Nike slogan, "Just do it". If you do, just hope you have a partner like Susan. She is the coolest girl ever.
Life at Work:
This morning started with a tropical storm rolling through
- typical of life in the tropics. I meet Michael at our office and start packing the pelican case with a new High Speed Camera that we will be using soon- Michael, Ben and I will be the camera operators. A high speed camera is a device used for recording slow-motion playback films, or used for scientific study of transient phenomena.
Photo to below:coffee blown from a straw.
A normal motion picture is filmed and played back at 24 frames per second. High speed cameras can film up to 250,000 frame/s per second. 
We need to get familiar with the camera, steady cam and pitch and roll of the boat. This morning was the first of several mornings to come where we will leave the dock and strap on the steady cam and try to keep the horizon steady while the sea is bouncing us around.
Then back to the office that is full of Michael's dive gear, cameras, graphic art tools of all kinds - 4 monitors, two CPUs and prints of our art scattered all over the desks. Michael and Wayne's Zone. This is my new professional life: 3D Digiatal Animator - Digital Photographer - and Michael's Wing Man. I like it.

What you said about Susan is so beautiful. I am so happy that you are happy and living with your best friend.
Have fun with the new camera.
Great you had a moment to grab a little perspective-that is always nice when it hits you. We have been so busy lately I need a few moments myself! Thank you Both for letting us stay in your flat. It is beautiful and a nice use of space. It was nice for Vickie and I to have our own little getaway this weekend. You guys can borrow my houseboat that I build this Summer and spend a weekend :)
Isn't it the truth? Life is amazing. I didn't know 15 years ago I would end up in America, but what a journey. I am so fortunate my path ended up crossing yours and the ones of the best people out there. I have to say, I'll always be thankful to my ex husband for introducing me to you Wayne and then by default to Susan and the rest of the group!
Now, like Nathan said, thank you so much for letting us use the flat. It was really nice having a 5 star place for a week-end, like a mini vacation with the "Jelly Bean" song: Nathan kept on playing a song on his iPod and I STILL have it in my brain, can't get rid of it... I renamed it the Jelly Bean song.
Finally I LOVE that picture of the coffee coming out of the straw, just beautiful! That's a perfect one to print and frame.
Miss you guys!
Hey Amigo:
Looks for all the world like life is good.
A different life than planet Brigadier.
As FZ once said: "You should be diggin' it while it's happenin', cuz it just might be a one-shot deal..."
I like the quote by Ferris Bueller, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." Yeah, Charlie, the Brigadier seems pretty far away from here; and yet, pretty close sometimes. Those were the "Salad Days, H.I."
