Just a Post

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is a gronderful holiday, as it gives us a day to reflect and be thankful for all the things we have, before commercialism attacks us on the double tomorrow. Brace yourselves.

It's so nice to have a couple of days off to spend with family, to see people I don't see everyday, much less in the same house!

I'd write some comment here about the first comment I received on my last post, but as my friends and family actually read this blog, I can't be discreet. (ha ha! I'm just kidding!) No, it simply isn't worth it. I will not waste my breath anymore on the subject, as it already has been wasted too much.

Okay, this seems the right time to confess this fact to ALL my friends: I am a trekkie. There you go. (I think my family already knows THAT.)

I'm racking my brains for anything else of little consequence to tell you...hmmm....apparently my life is very uneventful and unimaginative at the moment. It's full of excitement, so I don't have to improve on it with my imagination!

Speaking of imagination...I just remembered something! When I was younger, in the elementary school years, my mom would wake me up bright and early. She then would drive me to the pool, and I would swim for an hour or so. She would drop me off then go to the store to get some food. While she was gone...I was alone in the pool with a couple of old people and a lifeguard. It was incredibly boring. Sometimes I would imagine I was some sort of sea-creature that had been tamed, and people would ride me from one "shore" to the other. (the walls I visited every forty seconds...) I then would get my pay, and they'd go on their way.
Other times I would imagine I was a creature of some sort that could swim, and I would hurry to catch up to "bad guy" ships, and sabotage them.
Anyhow...if you ever want to know what I'm thinking about when I'm swimming in an empty pool with no entertainment...I start to imagine...Nowadays, I'm afraid I'm actually starting to think about my strokes, and sing Les Miz songs in my head.

When Shirsti and I would swim we would put on goggles and pretend that we were 'sea wolves.' It doesn't make sense at all, but it was fun.
Happy Thanksgiving to you too!

Singing during workouts was the standard for me too. I was not as creative, however, and often ended up doing random math problems. Even if you are a Trekkie, there are those of a greater degree of geekiness.
Thanks for the paddles and pull bouy.
