We had the 2nd annual “Divas Down the Delaware” rafting trip this past weekend and it was bigger and better than ever. The first rafting trip last year was an effort to get friends together up in our little neck of the woods and have a great day together rather than just another weekend dinner party. Last year was a great success and we started planning this year’s get together right away.
So after months and months of Jeff’s almost-scary organization, the weekend was upon us. We’d been fretting for weeks as the lack of rain was drying up the river, normally shallow anyway, and we weren’t sure if it would be a float or a carry. But then major rains earlier in the week swelled the river up to spring-like levels and Saturday turned out to be a gorgeous day: sunny and warm but not humid and hot with a nice breeze blowing. We finished the river in a few hours and then went back to our house for a pot luck and some burgers and dogs. Our group was about 15 people more than last year, new friends we hope and I think the picture shows how much fun we had.
We’re already planning for next year, to make it bigger and better and can’t wait. We’ve put our order in for the weather next year and started the guest list. Who’s coming?

And I was. I also designed my costume (based off the Star Trek: The Movie uniforms so suck it, gay geeks..I win) and picked out the gold lamė which was piped along the edges, the cumberbund, AND lined the whole inside of the detachable, full-length cape. Not too bad for someone who couldn’t play an instrument.

Just because I know there is general interest in my exercise habits, I provide for your amusement and entertainment, “Me…Running the MF’er Hill: The Video”. 10 minutes (Surrrrrrsly) of me yapping while I’m running, talking about nothing and giving you a blow by blow running commentary of my physical discomfort. The most amusing part? You can hear the slap-slap-slap of my size 12 clown feet the whole time! Enjoy.
UPDATE: Jeff says he’ll never get those ten minutes back so be warned.

I’m finished with my onsite work in OmaHaHa, finally. New York bound for at least a few weeks while we finish up with the final report and then who knows. It sounds like Fort Lauderdale next, at a similar kind of engagement but different kind of health system. I’m thinking there are more Gays in Ft. Lauderdale than in Omaha. I really, REALLY got tired of everyone wearing a wedding band.
Also, I want hotel status so bad that I think I’ll never not stay at the Courtyards which are becoming more plain by the visit. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing as it prompts me to want to go out and explore.

Yeah…I’m not sure why the page isn’t loading correctly. It’s obviously nothing I’VE done so point the wagging fingers elsewhere. And I’m back in OmaHaHa so do the math.
UPDATE: Yeah…still not sure what it is except I truncated the tagline from “Bladerunner” and that seems to have mostly fixed the problem. Lucky ducky, no doubt.
