Honestly- cool, clear water was not what I was looking for this morning. On Friday's I usually meet a group out at Governor Nelson State Park for an early morning swim. This time of year the water is anything but clear (it's kinda green) and it's actually warmed up quite nicely by this point.
Well- the alarm went off at about 5:30 and it was raining. Hard. I know what you're thinking- "your gonna get wet anyway, you might as well go swimming." And I thought about it- but then I saw the lightning and decided a swim in the pool at Harbor Athletic would be better.
I got to the pool a little after 6 and ran into two women from the masters swim class (I'm hardly a master- they both are). Both were feeling the same as I was- we'd much rather be outside in the dirty warm water. I know that sounds a bit odd, but there are advantages to the open water swim- mainly you don't have to stop and turn around every 25 yards.
The weather is supposed to be nice this weekend, so there's plenty of time for open water swimming- but the one time in the pool was a nice reminder of how much I like being in the open water.
Today is World Goth Day, a day to celebrate the post-punk, anti-establishment, dark clothes-wearing subculture.
I'm pretty sure I was a Goth for at least for little while, for two reasons.
1) I almost hardly ever wear pastels.
2) I used to...
Hello to all from Nfusion. Another round of challenges has moved beyond us all. Congrats to those of us lucky enough to have survived to this point. Sad to see the others eliminated as they were all very creative and talented. Good Bye to our new friends...
This morning it seemed like just about everyone was in the mood for some Funky Cold Medina...except Kitty. This ridiculous song made it all the way to number 3 in 1989. Jonathan says any song that references advertising dogs from the 80's has got...

It's a miracle that both Jonathan and KItty wanted to hear Barry Manilow this morning. They were not alone. Plenty of Fanilow's called in to vote yes. One caller claimed to have seen Manilow in concert 25 times!
The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, it is another gorgeous Monday, fit for another great show at the Crystal Corner tonight.
Through locking ourselves in the barn on Irish Lane, tossing some ideas around, as well as a few choice beverages to...
Hey everybody, we were thrown for a loop by the twist this week, but were able to make one of our "oldie but a goldie" songs fit the mold.
We have a few songs that we have played consistently over the years, and we are very happy that we will be...
