I've been wondering whether I'm the only one who read that article (online, some big news outlet somewhere) about some bishop in Ireland who officially moved St Patrick's Day to the 15th this year. Sounds a little ridiculous. Convenient that that falls on a Saturday instead of a Monday, isn't it?
I took my second of three swim lessons yesterday. I switched gyms a couple of months ago; now I'm at the Y. So with the money I saved just over two months from my previous place, I was able to get a private coach. I can swim, I know how, but I just never did it well. Like, I can't do laps back-and-forth like all the other people in the pool without needing to rest after one length. I'm thrilled with these lessons now. In a total of an hour of instruction, we've done (a polishing of my) freestyle, breaststroke (which I learned a totally new way of doing), backstroke (which I've never done, and yesterday the butterfly.
Holy crap. I never saw myself even knowing how to do all these, much less learning them in so little time.
Ok. Now to the drinking.

Dude i had to do that right before my scuba certification and it made the complete and utter difference in me passing and not passing. I actually love swimming now. That shit WILL get anyone in shape. It will also pull all sorts of muscles you never knew you had if you dont stretch! lol
