Antibiotics, theraflu, alka-seltzer, cough drops, vitamins.
Already the food at the mess takes an effort to eat. Now it's harder. I'd almost rather drool than swallow.
So in my quick note about the lovely time in Roatan, I didn't elaborate on how I tried to drown Randy while snorkeling. I hadn't planned to go snorkeling. I was perfectly happy lying on the plastic floating dock by the snorkeling, but Randy came back in to tell me I had to go check it out.
And I try to give people a warning about me and water. "I am a spastic swimmer" "I am not a good swimmer" "I've only been snorkeling once"
So he gave me his goggles and snorkel and led me out. I let him keep the flippers. We got a ways out and I started to panic. So we go to turn back, Randy is going to tow me back so I offered him back the goggles and snorkel. I tried to help put them on him, while piggybacking, of sorts, and ended up submerging him.
It was spastic. He doesn't seem to hold any ill feelings about it. We had a good laugh when I had to re-explain that my swimming skills are not so proficient. Next time, I'll use a life vest!
A group of my colleagues got in an auto accident with some locals in Cozumel. It wasn't their fault and they were fine. They were in a hummer and the locals were on a scooter - a couple and their baby. The man broke his leg and the baby was in a coma for a couple of days. The police needed someone from the party to stay at the station to finish up paperwork (maybe he was the driver?), so he had to miss the boat leaving port! Such a big deal! Thankfully there wasn't any corruption against the foreigner and there don't seem to be any big repercussions from work. Missing the boat in general is grounds for termination.
Oh, and Randy has fainting goats.
Does the link work?
edit aug 20: ah here we go, dunno what happened with that other link.

Anywho, when they get excited, they freeze up and fall over.
Love and pain,
