Well, my wife and I just got back from a year and a half sailing trip to
many remote south pacific areas. No tv or any news at all.

Did you happen to run into Gardner McKay?

Later,

Tom

Hey, Tom, you're giving you age away, Gardner McKay was the hero of
"Adventures in Paradise" back in the mid to late 50s. A corny, but
delightful TV series.

Ah - yes well, it was one of my favorites. Along the Mike Nelson and
Buster Crabbe.

Later,

Tom - who is a very young even if he is an old fart.

Growing old is not an option. Growing up is.
Did see a DVD collection of the Flash Gordon shows in Costco the other day.

Damn straight.

"Sea Hunt" is coming to DVD and I've heard rumors of "Adventures in
Paradise" DVD.

That would be cool.

Sea Hunt. No buddy diving and those old 2 hose regulators.

I still have my uS Divers two stage regulator with the two hoses.

I was so young that the former Navy dive master who ran the sports
shop in Salem, MA didn't want to teach me to dive - but I talked him
into it by reciting dive tables, demonstrated knowledge of the scuba
gear and knowledge of the physiology of diving - he finally gave in
and taught me. Made pretty good money in the spring and fall
recovering moorings for Northshore Barge and Salvage Company when I
was in high school.

I loved to dive - wish I could still do it.

Now I just use my Aqua Vu and wish I was down there with the fishies.

Hey! A Divers, Inc double is what I got my certification on, back in New
Haven in 1966.

Have they improved them since?

Nope. Long gone. When Eisboch Jr. and my son-in-law got certified about
four years ago, I joined them in a trip to a dive shop to help buy their
equipment. I didn't recognize a thing.

I sold my stuff a few years ago. I still held out hope that I could
go back to diving, but some of the RA meds caused drug induced asthma
so that was the end of that.

There is a lot of neat dive stuff out there now.

Lagoon.

Did you know that old Chuckie played for both the Red Sox and the
Boston Celtics in the same year?
