Card Assignment

Tonight I am going to take a blog break and finally open the many cards that have come in to mark Dad's passing.  Truthfully, I hadn't the strength to look through them all.  But tonight is the night to honor those who thought so highly of us to send a card.  Much love!

Decompression

I have never actually scuba dived (do scuba lessons at the resort pool in Mexico count?) but I am familiar with the term, 'decompression'.  In a sound bite it means a return to normal atmosphere following exposure to great pressure.  My understanding is that after a diver has been under hundreds of feet of water for a certain length of time that  they have to allow ample time  for  certain cellular gases to exchange  so that they do not experience 'the bends' or  diving sickness before they return to the surface.  If done wrong the process of decompression could at the least make you feel just awful for quite some time and at the most could LITERALLY kill. you.  Knowing how to decompress is part of a divers training which they forget at their own peril.  Now.  Why would someone participate in an activity that is potentially so hazardous?  And not so much during but AFTER it is over?  Welp, my guess is that what you see and...

New Home

The time has come to change my writing home. My plans are to move my current blog home to Wordpress.com under a different name in the coming weeks.  BUT, that said I have soooooo many Dad stories that I'd still like to share; Stories of his past that have kept me entertained my whole life that I think you will find entertaining too. So here's the thing: I will keep posting, albeit less frequently.  Feel free to subscribe to:  trippinwithdad.blogspot.com to keep up with Dad and the beautiful colorful life he led. I made a promise to him that I would make sure his grandchildren knew his story and I will do just that through the blog. So stay tuned for more trips with Dad and new trips with Sylvia and Raymond. See you in a few weeks!!
