I’m going once again on the Barenaked Ladies cruise in a few weeks, and incidental to this cruise are the ports of call. In the ports are many activities, so Gary and I are required to make a joint decision. After Gary called six times at work to jerk us back and forth on what we wanted to do, he sent this email:
“I changed my mind. Sign us up for the Canopy Adventure in Jamaica and the Snuba (and Butterflies/Horses?) in Grand Cayman. If we don’t feel up to it when we get there we can just eat the fees. If we do feel up to it then we could have an amazing adventure or at least an extremely embarrassing episode that will be blog-worthy. We have to remember that we are no longer private citizens. We are now characters in an Internet blog. We must live our life while keeping that in mind. If I get stuck up in a tree, I want the whole world to at least know that I tried something new. If the Canopy is closed then we need something else like Nude Paragliding that is equally blog-worthy.”
I thank you, oh Denizens of the Internets, for making my husband Mr. Adventure.

Ah, living vicariously through the wife’s blog, what a way to go! My husband rarely makes the show, I try to shelter him if I can. Glad Gary is having fun with it, though!
I’m so glad some celebrities understand their duty to the public. It’s a responsibility, not a privilege, to be known for your ability to point out weirdly-shaped dog poo and your undaunted courage in paragliding.What’s the canopy thing, anyway?
Just don’t get into any car chases with the papparazzi.
I’m glad Gary has finally adopted the ‘Won’t somebody think of the readers?!’ mindset. Awesome.
If we are indeed in the same excursion group (10am), then I will make sure Gary doesn’t get stuck in a tree. I am an awesome piggybacker. He can hop on. I’ll save his ass.
We’re not only here for you to enrich our lives, we’re here to help you enrich yours as well…”HELP ME HELP YOU!”
I doff my hat to your Man, my Queen. He is truly a good guy.
Tell Gary that snuba (whatever that is) and canopy tours have been done. Snooze. I want something more. and nude paragliding sounds like exactly what the doctor ordered.Commence to start!
Naked on a deck with hundreds of other people? Quirky. Nude with your dongle dangling above the earth? Disturbing.
judith – He’s a good-natured guy. That means I have to test him.Becs – It’s a zip line – like this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seO5GMBrjDEFriend #3 – Oh, like we haven’t already. (Oddly I had just woken up from a car chase dream this morning. Spooky.)Catherine – He’s a giver.Kate – No. Don’t try it. You would be killed.Autumn – And I thank you for your support.Hot Mom – Yes’m, he is.melati – Snuba is actually less adventurous than snorkel – evidently you get into a deep-sea-diver headgear that pipes oxygen in and take co2 out. It would be a step down, really. Unless, I guess, if it were Nude Snuba.Caroline – but, would it be visible from 600 feet? And, would that be TMI?
Oh what vicarious thrills! I can’t wait to (almost) live the adventure!
KC – I might take requests.
Gary – what a guy. Makes Hubs look like a slacker. He doesn’t contribute nearly enough to my blog. *sigh*
sue – yes, but I can see your husband doing guest posts when needed. Gary refuses vehemently.
I seriously cannot get enough of either of you. I’m so glad you blog your adventures.
Rachelshirts – Just wait, because we will be ready to be tied to the zip line, and Gary will scream “WE CANT DO THIS ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?”
