Hey Good Lookin...What Ya Got Cookin

That song by Jimmy Buffet was the anthem for my 4th of July weekend. It was in no way symbolic of anything that occurred over the weekend...just found its way to the stereo and refused to leave. If I had a dollar for every time I heard that song I swear I would be able to buy at least a case of Bud Light!
While I wasn't listening to Jimmy Buffet I was off being a Super Hero on the water.
Day 1 - I rescued two teenage boys that had run aground on their waverunner. I'm still a little unclear on how they managed to get it 20 feet in with 6 inches of water...but I've definitely done worse, so I helped them drag it into deeper water and then headed back to the dock.
Day 3 - I rescued our runaway dingy. One minute we are hanging out on my dads boat, waiting for the bridge to open so that we can go under it, and the next thing you know my dad is yelling the dingy is loose! My first reaction was to jump in the water to get it, but then I realized not only was that dangerous, but there was no way I would be able to climb into it without tipping it over. Once I realized that option was out I ran to the back of the boat and jumped down on the swim platform. I waited until we got close enough and then I hurled myself onto the dingy. I got a little rattled when 8 people were yelling and telling me what do do, but I got it together and drove the dingy home to safety. Not sure if my Dad was proud of my quick thinking...or pissed at me because it was my job to watch it in the first place...damn... well it all worked out...I'm taking suggestions for a superhero name and outfit if anyone has any good ideas let me know...
