You'll probably get many offers from wanabe dive buddies, so I'd like to be
the first to speak up. :-)  ...I'm six feet tall, handsome (if your
standards aren't too high), very considerate of other's space, I'm never
bored (except at w$$k), I have almost infinite patience (for you), and I'm a
self-taught naturalist with two alert eyes. ...How am I doing so far? :-)) I
think I might qualify if you don't think real hard, and raise the bar. ;-)))
