nail-biting story!!! Great stuff. You might have a book in you. So many people haven't dived (dove?) and this is vicarious excitement. I've noticed, Mouseclick, (btw, in one short dream last night you asked to be called Mouseclick instad of Mouse, so as not to be confused with the er- mouse, so i am complying with the 'night classroom's instruction)
that over the past months, your narrative style has become sharper and sharper, and your mental fortitude sems to have taken a lep too. (not that you weren't highly verbal before...) Your'e a real story-teller.
