Scuba Is On


At age 16, Stacy Taniguchi (above) made a list of 100 things he would do before he died, things like get a driver's license, fly a plane, climb Mount Everest, scale the most difficult rock-climbing face in the world, see the Taj Mahal, etc., etc. Lucky for me, he settled down enough to live in Provo and teach at BYU, so now I get to participate in his final list item: No. 100, scuba dive.

Mr. Taniguchi says he's up for certifying this fall—we'll be taking classes from his graduate assistant's wife. Then the magazine just may send me to accompany him on his first real dive, somewhere beautiful and tropical, naturally . . . I wish I weren't terrified of the ocean.

Don't tell me you would turn this down. Did you ever get that dreamy motorcycle?

Scuba, yes, moto, no ... we'll have to look and see if it's still at the motorcycle graveyard next time we're in Le Boise——if it's there, it's meant to be.

Did you lose any trees or babies in the wind last weekend? A tree in the Rogerses' backyard came down.
