A few minutes after the picture at left was taken on a boat in Puerta Vallarta I took off all my clothes and jumped naked into the ocean.

After about two minutes in the water I got stung on the wiener by a jellyfish.

Unpleasant.

It's been too long since I've had a good beach vacation.

I might have to look into this getting something set up soon.

This time I hope to avoid any wiener mishaps.
