Hey N_Hill:

The real persona or is it really the PR front for the public is very different. Nary a hint of angst.

That is only possible b/c I unload it all here.

That is why sometimes when people want to talk off the BB - I am a lot quieter. I usually do not go around telling people (unless I know them well) my honest opinions (outside of work). And while sometimes you develop a closeness on the BB - it starts all over again for me at square 1 off the BB b/c I found out the hard way that people are not always what they seem here.

I usually find that as soon as I finish typing the post, the thoughts are processed and my angst is significantly reduced. If it isn't - well I continue to post till it is!

Swimming is one of those things I am not seeking to perfect. It is my gift from me to me to be a person that swims like (in the words of the poet) a crippled jellyfish. I don't even know how to do that somersault thingy as I turn at the end of a lap! \:o

I swim late in the evenings after work and it is very relaxing for me as I see the sunset with every breathe I take as I swim.

My - just thinking about swimming is relaxing me!

take care,
AG
