Pain...Agony...

We bought a tube for the jet ski yesterday and took it out last night to play with it.  I'm regretting that now as my whole upper body aches.  I realized mid-way through the evening why it hurt so much to hit the water.  Joni and I were both used to tubing in my fathers boat that has a top speed of 28mph.  Well our jet skis can do almost 60 and Mark had me tubing at roughly 40ish.  So losing control and hitting the water at that speed, well, hurts.  I did manage to have a little fun on the tube once we got the speed thing down, I think everyone did.  The only thing I don't like is the spray from the rope in the water, but since I don't wear contacts or glasses it bothered me less then everyone else.  This weekend I'm going to try to ski and knee board on the jet skis and see which I like more, which will ultimately turn into the next purchase, but not until the credit card statement closes...afterall we have to watch our bottom line. 

I watched the movie Hitch last night, thank you Javed, and it was a pretty good movie.  I certainly laughed alot.  I might have missed alot of the movie though as I was helping my Aunt and Uncle get a website up to sell my Uncle's house.  My aunt, his sister, made the website herself and it turned out really good.  The problem is that it's hosted by her ISP and has a tilde (~) in the URL, the paper they want to list the house in won't accept that character, so I got her to buy a domain and hosted it at work...well, not really hosting it here..just a redirect to her site.  Here's a link to the site if you live in the Atlanta area and are in the market for a new house, this could be the one for you.

Stephen, you are absolutely amazing and a genius! You had the solution to our publishing problem last night and were so kind, patient, thorough, and quick to respond to my pleas for help. Sorry about the movie interruption. You Da Man!

Lol, No problem Aunt Pat! On thing that alway gets on Joni's nerves is my ability to multi-task...I would be holding an intelligent conversaiton with her cousins husband and not miss a beat on her conversation with her cousin. Now they go to another room to talk...
