You made me remember something, how would a person take a nitro pill under water? I guess I better stay topside.

I have ridden a horse across the Baja and in the Rockies outside of Taos. Hell, I've been tossed by a horse in my own backyard, my own horse. Now I jump on my 400 ATV and race through the woods and jump hills at 65 mph.

Penni, you must have been instrumental in inspiring the Isherman to purchase those horseback riding aids.

Lolita Amy got married this Saturday, and I went to the reception after I got off work. It was held at the groom's parent's house, a rude shack that must have set them back about a million bucks. Mr Groom's Dad is a corporate lawyer in downtown LA, Harvard law grad so I hear. The house sits on a hillside with a 270 degree view of Orange County down below... it was clear and you could see Catalina Island off to the west.

The drive was lined with candles. There was a string trio playing Bach as you entered the foyer. The place was beautiful. Professional caterers. A lot of food. There were several hundred people attending the reception. The receiving line was about 25 people long. I at least knew all of Lolita Amy's family, a few of the groom's. Amy expressed surprise that I was capable of dressing up, figured I would show up either wearing shorts or my Postal uniform. Yes, she is always a barrel of laughs....

One of the bridesmaids works for AlGore, er, VP Al Gore. She got the job after a stint as a White House Intern. Much prettier than You-Know-Who, but no more intelligent. About on par with Melinda, I'd say. She does have a fine collection of cigar jokes, however.

Somehow this family has invented a reputation for me. I kept getting introduced as "oh, and here is the mailman I've told you about!" Sheesh. I kept protesting that I suspected most of them had mail carriers, and that meeting another one wasn't going to qualify as a Big Thrill. It did no good.

I would prefer to be a corporate lawyer. And live on a hill commanding a 270 degree view. Just think of the fun you could have from up there with a Spud Cannon.
