Clare, that is SO cool!!! Talk about memories lasting a lifetime! That's awesome that your documentary won an award.
My BF is a geologist. It's funny, whenever we go on a scuba diving trip together he insists we call it an "expedition" to give the impression that the premise is scientific. Ha - for me the premise is WATER, SUN, and FUN!! But I behave very seriously with him in the evenings as we examine our photos to identify the genus/species of each critter, er I mean specimen. :+

I used to play piano. I played from about age 7 until I was about 17. Then, I considered being a concert pianist (heehee) but I didn't think I'd like performing in front of a lot of people and I figured I probably wouldn't make much money anyway. If you put sheet music in front of me today, I could probably play it. Not flawlessly, but I could figure it out.

I know what you mean! Almost every vacaion we take turns out to be the newest geo-tour! I drive, my husband points out geologic forms of interest, the kids just want ice cream and are we there yet?!?!?!?!?! All our holiday snaps include a fair smattering of close up shots of rocks, volcanoes, mountains, lava, ash flows, etc with some household object (a teaspoon?!?!) or family members included for scale.
You cannot take the geologist out of the man. I never bother trying!
Scuba is so cool too. I am wowed by your scuba talents!

I have four children whose ages are 25, 23, 13 and 3. I don't think I'll try for another one next decade.
I also have two grandchildren. My three year old is an aunt to another three year old and a 2 year old.

Another thing is that I LOVE black and white photography and have my own darkroom. I also love some of the alternative photgraphic processes.
I haven't had much time for this stuff lately because I've been such a Cathe devotee plus I'm training for another marathon. But I miss it enough to know that sooner or later I'll be back at it.

I co-authored a chapter in this book: http://bookstore.lexis.com/bookstor...ct&prod_id=10529&cat_id=J&pcat_id=91&pub_id=1
Kahibaw ko mo-Binisaya.
That means, "I can speak Visayan," which is not really a language but a term for a group of languages in the Visayan region in the Philippines. Among such languages...
Cebuano akong sinultian.
Which means, "Cebuano is my main tongue."
Marunong rin akong mag-Tagalog.
This means, "I also know how to speak Tagalog," which is what's spoken in Manila. Purists like to believe that Pilipino is different from Tagalog, but they're the same. It's my husband's native tongue. I can speak his language, but he can't speak mine. Except for the curse words and x-rated stuff.
I learned English before I learned Tagalog. I grew up in a household that spoke "Ceblish", or a combination of Cebuano and English.
My maternal grandfather spoke Spanish. I always believed he was either part Spanish or Portugese, until I entered his last name in a google search with the word "genealogy" and came up with pages in FRENCH!
I know I'm part Chinese on my father's side. What I am on my mom's side still remains a mystery.
