Surprise

A funny thing happened to me on the way to my surprise 50th b-day party. I almost didn't make it. First off, it was a total surprise. Well at least until they wanted to pull me out of sat on the Sea Lion. I wasn't falling for the excuse "you're going to Mexico"! Then, when they told me Katie needs me at home, but it's not an emergency, I kinda had an inkling. The day we got out we were hit with 10 ft. seas so, no crewboat. We woke up the next morning to fog so thick you could cut it with a knife. But thanks to Glenn Hansen, John Donovan, Phil Doyle, the Chevron rep and the tugboat captain really going out of their way I walked in a mere 8 hours late. Thanks to everybody who came especially the hardcores that stayed til the last act. And my biggest thanks to my beautiful, thoughtful, caring, funny soulmate Katie. I love you....
