hnt--wart

i guess it is gone... my WART, that is.

it was on my knee. i froze it a long time ago, but it came back. i used some of those other salicylic acid products but they would have taken forever to dissolve it.

THIS TIME i injected the area with lidocaine and sliced it off with a scalpel. i was amazed at how vascular it was. let me rephrase that, I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE HOW VASCULAR THAT LITTLE NUB WAS. it would not stop bleeding--don't know why it would not clot. I put a pressure dressing on it for the night (mc donalds napkin with masking tape--how is it that nurse has no sterile gauze or bandage tape--don't worry, i added it to my "borrow from work" list)

the next day, i froze the shit out of the site--don't know if that was recommend, it hurt like hell and the skin was blanched all around. guess what, it bled some more.

anyway, after the destruction (that i caused) was healed, i now have normal skin and no wart Posted by Picasa

new braunfels with the girls father's day

went to NB for a few days--floated the COMAL with the girls, my mom and gweemie

i love this spot on the guadelupe. It is the river crossing at Gruene. Most people end their trip here. if you don't have alot of time to commit to a tubing excursion, this is great place to chill for a few hours.

i put my lawn chair and cooler as close to the rapids as i can get--usually under the shade of one of the cypress trees and CHILL. it is never ending entertainment watching people finish up their rafting or tubing adventure. Good company is a MUST!

one time, after a few beers, i thought it would be fun to "do" this set of rapids without a au natural (without a float, tube or raft).

made it between the first set of rocks without much harm, them i took one to the ass, now i started to get nervous, put my hands down a little there goes the elbow--somehow got turned sideways and began to "roll" forcefully down the 'stair-like' falls. when i got the calm water, it took a few minutes to remember how to breathe again. both elbow, knees, hands, butt cheeks--ALL DAMAGED--most damaged--my ego!

who would you like to invite for dinner

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060612/ap_en_ce/esquire_survey

funny, i was thinking about this on my drive to lago vista
but i was not thinking just about dinner--i was thinking about a whole weekend or a golf foursome

i don't remember now, who i picked---i think it was tommy lee, jack johnson, lance armstrong (i limited my choice to three guys)

if i was picking girls, i'd pick 3 girls that like to get naked and have sex (one of them an excellent chef, one a masseuse and a housekeeper) all threee would be excellent dancers and like sports (playing and watching)!

Actually, i'd pick 3 others, but i cannot tell you who........

lake travis weekend



rented a house lago vista with my buds from high school--they brought some boats

It is a good thing i am a hasher, because it takes THAT kinda 'practice' to keep up with my friends from HS. I drank more here than any interhash weekend. did not go to bed until 5am either night; lost more money a hold'em then i'd like to admit.

went wake boarding for the first time: my tendons/muscles are so damn sore that it is difficult to type or hold my arms up to shampoo my hair, so i waited until today to shower--(glad all of my kids have great IV access tonight). oh, did i say wake boarding--more like "they draggged me behind their boat with my feet strapped to a board" CAN YOU SAY "FACEPLANT"?

AUSTIN TRAFFIC---i do not mind if austin is my final destination, but when you are cruising 75-80, then slow down and stop a bunch going thru austin--THAT SUCKS!! and what is up with the freeways, ending, with little notice and then a detour--AUSTIN TRAFFIC SUCKS!

laying in bed sunday night, felt like the bed was rocking in the surf.

monday, US team got beat BAD!!!

chopped the youngest' hair off

what is out your window?

good morning---"my morning," that is. what do you see when you first roll out of your bed? what is out your window? i usually see someone fishing, sometimes someone is canoeing. i want to snorkel the lake. they say we are "allowed" to swim, but i figured the worst thing they could do is tell me to get out.
