How I Got To Abort My Dive

Why I blew a neck seal, and flooded the suit, thanks for asking. Then when
I was lugging all that extra water up the beach, I sprained my frigging
ankle.

Lesson kids! Check those seals regularly!

If you'd bought a boat, like you promised, you wouldn't have sprained
your ankle. 'Course, you probably would have drowned instead.

Ohhhh no.

Drowning would be the cheap and easy way out.

He has no such luck.

But, he does have a new ex...

Yeah. I'd have still been on the beach, and my boat would still be at
anchor on the bay. I don't think two people could have hauled my soaking
ass over the gunwale.

So much for the mythical boat.
That dream will be real tough to float.
It's good that the beach
is still within reach.
It's better than ``That's all she wrote!''

His neck seal was crummy
He felt like a dummy
Aborted the dive
Mad but alive
Wrapped in regret like a mummy

So we're sitting on the back stoop last night, and she drops this on me,
right out of the blue.

"I want a boat!"

So take that, ya bastages.

Haaaarrrrrrrrgh!

Ah, Scott mislead me. You've got a new future -ex. Or should I say,
soon-to-be -ex as soon as you capsize the boat...

Right. The old-and-busted ex moved out. Now I have a newer, faster model,
and better prospects on the boat to boot.

It's a win-win.

But I suppose I should fix the neck seal first.

I'm so sorry. Trust me, you were much better off when you wanted the boat
and she let you get one because she loves you.

Whatever boat you get will cost a lot, be expensive to maintain and will
most likely have no room for fishing or diving gear. It will have a head
and a galley. She'll use the head excessively and the galley hardly at all.
