Hi Purple - that's quite a long trip - too bad they had that delay in LA...and then had to go through Miami...sounds like an exhausting trip...glad to know that you're enjoying the calm you have - and that you're staying so busy.
I've been thinking that someone should put out a book called the LBS Diet...since it seemed to do wonders for me...I had been wanting to shed about 20 pounds for a while - and have finally managed to do that over the last three months...especially before my W moved out and I got into this mode where - whenever she started to get angry at me, I would just excuse myself and go for a run...for a while I was running three miles every night...funny thing is that she now holds it against me that I exercise - says it's proof of how self-centered I am...and that I cared more about going for a run than being home with her...it's weird...but I'm sitting here laughing at these memories right now - thinking how absurd they are...how nice it is not to be judged for wanting to be healthy...
For you it's swimming, right? Got to make some pool time, Purple...Purple time...
