Tuesday, June 30, 2015. Fractured, as a reminder to myself that in high school I used to. Get laughs by imitating a gay person, sashaying, gesticulating, throaty,. Lisping, too loud, flamboyant, clowning a stereotype. I didn't know any. Gay people, so who was I hurting? Of course, now I know better. I've lived a little, as they say. Now I'm way over here on the side,. Waving the rainbow flag. Everybody, may I have your attention, please? It's not so hard, really, if you focus. In other words, like always.

Day 45 of the Great Big Marathon 10k Swimming Adventure: Cracking the 4k and dealing with neck pain. My trusty and highly recommended Garmin Swim watch always shows how much you have swum this week.

And despite massive snow storms making the commute cumbersome, the habit is settling in. And I am getting some serious pool time: From Monday to Wednesday, I swam 10,575 meters (check photo f...

Four years in ten minutes: How do you know who you are? And what matters most to you in your life? Four years is a long time, but also one that is easily taken stock of. Or is it? How do you summarize what happened in four years in, say, ten minutes aside from the fact that ten minutes of reading will also depend on how fast you personally read and how dense the subject matter is? What if you were to sketch out what is different now to what was before? How have you changed? Do you count the life events?

People tweeted jokes about snow coming and buying winter jackets. So when I got the chance, I grabbed my bathers and rushed to the outdoor pool. The water’s only 18 today! No need to overdo it! Of course, before...
