I?ve been really good about continuing to swim. I?m swimming about three days a week for about 45-minutes to an hour a day. I feel in shape which means I feel a whole lot less guilty about being a couch potato or constantly eating out J. I think if there were an outdoor pool in San Francisco I?d be more enticed to swim daily. Usually when I?m back at home I swim either at the YMCA pool at the Presidio (yah free towel service!) or the St. Ignatius Herbst Pool. When I swim at the latter I often run into John and Matt, old Riordan HS Swimming Alumni. It?s always good to catch up with them and apparently they are headed on a road trip to Seattle, so maybe I?ll meet em up north.
I received some sad news about the passing of Brent Rice from the Whitworth Swim Team in a tragic car accident. I personally didn?t know him well but I did compete against him for two years while I was swimming for the UPS Loggers. His name stands out because he was a fast swimmer and a good competitor (although I was never fast enough to even be considered competition for him). So?.Arrrrr, mate.
Trackback pings allow blog publishers to reference another person?s blog. Trackbacks are a key element that enable blog writers to collaborate their ideas. Which reminds me that I was thinking about creating another section of my own blog about my twisted political opinions (but I think there are already enough of those on the Internet). I?ve subscribed to several RSS feeds and I?ll reference their trackback pages if I ever use another blogger?s ideas.
Apparently everyone is graduating. My cousin graduated high school today. My family went out to dinner last week to celebrate my graduation and hers. We went to Bacar Seafood/Wine Bar Restaurant on Brannon. It was okay, but I?ve shied away from eating Seafood on Sunday?s and Mondays because of a book titled Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain (a hilarious read and good non-cooking cookbook).
