Liz: I'm really sorry about what I did. And I know you can't forgive me but just to even things out, here is all my weird secret stuff. I have been sexually rejected by not one, but two guys who later went to clown college. I get super nervous whenever I hear a vacuum cleaner because when I was a kid, my mom used to turn on the vacuum to drown out the sound of her and my dad fighting. Which is why I rarely vacuum my apartment. Like, never. I have had three doughnuts so far today. Once in college, I pooped my pants a little bit at a country steaks all you can eat buffet and I didn't leave until I finished my second plate of shrimp. A couple months ago, I went on a date with my cousin. Wow, I am a mess. There is an 80% chance that in the next election I will tell all my friends that I'm voting for Barack Obama but I will secretly vote for John McCain. Here's one: when I was a kid, I used to put on my fanciest nightgown and then I would mix orange soda and cream soda in a champagne glass and I would sit in the dark and watch The Love Boat. Consequently, I have some weird sexual fantasy stuff about Gopher from The Love Boat. And I lied. I have had five doughnuts today...

So we went down to the Virgin Islands last week.. and met up with Tropical Storm Otto... so of the 8 days I was going to have of sun, phototaking, etc... ended up being just over 1.5 days... really disappointing.. no charters, snorkeling, etc... moral of the story, don't travel during Hurricane Season I guess....

Anyway, this was at the base of the resort with an incredibly old stone/concrete lookout point and a single palm looking over the bay.... downtown St. Thomas is right behind the palm tree for reference...
