I'll spare you the boring details, but it's nice to know that after a crappy beginning to the week, there are one or two days that help make everything a little happier in the world.

In other news, Janine and I are going to begin classes for SCUBA certification. My ultimate vacation dream is to go down under and SCUBA dive the Great Barrier Reef (among other things to do in Australia/New Zeland). In order to do your own thing underwater and not have to deal with an instructor-led dive, you have to be certified. Janine's work has a rec program that offers a ceritfication class about once a year, and this weekend is the class. We'll be busy with classroom and pool sessions for most of the weekend, and then we'll finish up the certificaiton later this Spring with open-water dives somewhere up in Wisconsin. It should be pretty cool, and I'm definitely looking forward to it!
