Wednesday, December 10, 2014Good morning crew,
I am really pleased at how quickly my stamina is returning. After barely two weeks in the pool I am already swimming over a thousand meters continuously. It helps that I weigh 80 percent less in the water than I do standing, but still!
And swimming has really been bringing back some old memories of being on the swim team in high school; the daily work outs, constantly reeking of chlorine, the inconvenient rashes, showering naked with other guys, but in high school I was a socially awkward, skinny kid who wore a lot of hand-me-downs. I wasn't exactly beating the girls away with a stick.
Now I am a gainfully employed professional (more or less) with his own home, a wife and a wardrobe that is all originally owned. I don't have to feel like a romantic pariah anymore.
So last night I went home and asked the wife if she was ever a cheer leader in high school.
She said no.
So I asked her if she knew where she could get hold of a cheer leading outfit.
She said no.
Laugh it up,
Joe

"Because," she said, "they've registered for Nintendo games."
