Resolution


It's the LAST day of the year and I haven't posted since February. SHAME ON ME! I've been swimming (and keeping up my festive suits, such as this celebratory one that Kathleen Liston bought me last month for my 40th birthday), but I've also been working too much, and writing too little. So this is my NYE resolution: write. Part of that resolution includes this blog. Help me keep it! When you see me in the locker room, and I'm feeling especially vulnerable (naked), berate me for not posting enough. That should help. Hey, if I can get back to writing today, after 5,000 yards this morning and 10,000 yesterday morning, I should be able to do it any old day, right? Right.

Well I didn't exactly berate you in the locker room but asked rather wistfully if you had given up on the blog awhile back. SO glad you're back!

For Heidi

I was nervous about visiting Heidi. I remembered her as an always upbeat, caring person who lit up the locker room at 5:45am and made me glad I had gotten out of bed. I knew she took great trips, and lived actively. I knew how happy she was about her son's marriage. Beyond that, I figured I didn't know her very well. I never saw her outside of Burgess, and I consider her a teammate and acquaintance, more than a dear friend. That said, thanks to the environment Tim has created, we teammates at Burgess definitely feel like a part of something bigger - a family, a support system, something. But as Sunday drew near, I considered the fact that I felt a chest cold arriving, and that I would have to depart from my children (who I see too little during the week) for hours to go visit her in San Leandro. I wondered what I would say to her and around her. I wondered if she'd even care to see me. And I almost didn't go. I will forever be glad that I went. And I encourage every one...
