So I'm here in hot, humid Houston, TX. Boy it's good to be back in the Lone Star state--because I get to see my Lone Star friends! My great buddy Anthony is going to be leaving for New Jersey soon, where he will be stationed with the Air Force. So some people got together, bought some food, made some calls, and boom...Going Away Party.

One of those calls was to me up in NC. So I hopped on a plane and joined the fun. The party was great, but not without casualties...

My friend Dave decides to get the pool fun started with a flying squirrel off the diving board. Good call, Dave. So into the water he flies and comes face to face with the bottom of the pool! Yes, he got a boo boo on his nose. Awwwwww.

Now the best part. The party is over, me and Dave are brushing our teeth, getting ready for some shuteye. All of a sudden, he looks into the mirror, straight at his face, and says, "Holy crap! That is ugly!"

And I proceeded to spew toothpaste everywhere in my laughter. Oh, I love when stories have happy endings!
