"A Day at the Beach

First thing this morning...well about 11:00 actually (it is Sunday) I went for a nice swim in lake Erie. It was good to realize that my long workout yesterday had no apparent effect on my swimming. I put in 4o minutes which should be about 2 kms.

I then went for a quick 5 k run just to see that I still could and that's when the tiredness showed up.

So I went back to the beach with this guy...



And we built this guy...



And then they fought!



I wish to dedicate day 298 to Jonathan Gibson who is today seriously ill and needs your thoughts and prayers.

maggie and millie and molly and may
went down to the beach (to play one day)
and maggie discovered a shell that sang
so sweetly she couldn't remember her troubles,
and millie befriended a stranded star
who's rays five languid fingers were
and molly was chased by a horrible thing
which raced sideways while blowing bubbles
and may came home with a smooth round stone
as small as a world and as large as alone.
For whatever we lose (like a you or a me)
it's always ourselves we find in the sea.”---E. E. Cummings
