Warning!

This is what happens when you eat the colored frosting on a birthday cake!

Justin, Britt and I show the difference between eating a little and eating a lot!  Thanks for the fun photo, Mills!

Diving???

As a quick update on my physical condition......six months later, I'm still healing.  I go to physical therapy two or three times a week and it really seems to be helping.  I've been able to get back into the field, but only as the boat driver.  The wave motion on the boat makes me pretty sore afterwards, but it's getting less intense the more I do it.  I'm still working my way up to swimming and diving.  I was brave (or stupid, depending on how you look at it) enough to go for a shore dive about a month ago to test the waters.  While having the gear on didn't bother me, it was difficult to kick using fins and I had to abort the dive about 30 mins into it.  The good news is that was long enough to locate and grab a stone crab feast!!!  Yummy! 

Happy Easter!

A cool perk of working for the University of Miami is the free tickets to sporting events.  Last night, we got to go to a Marlins game and watch them lose against the Rockies.  It was a fun afternoon though- we had a little bbq at my place prior to the game and then we headed to the stadium for a little tailgating.

 Claus and Michelle drove down for the event.......

 ....and we got to teach them the Lirman Lab gang symbol!  Even though the Marlins lost, it was a fun game!

For Easter, I started the day with brunch at Jenn and Remy's- they had nice table set up in their backyard and the weather was perfect!  We had so much food too- we are going to be eating banana pudding for weeks!
Afterwards, I went out on the water with John and Kristen and got to spend some time on the beach soaking up some sun!  Not a bad way to spend Easter!
Happy Easter, everyone!
