Indian Head

A few weeks ago I met a beautiful woman online.  Christian.  But really messed up (I think); loves dogs more than people.

Anyways, I visited her 3 times in Indian Head.  3 hours' drive each time.

I'm attracted to her for all the wrong reasons.  It's obvious.

The things I do for women...

46

I turned 46 today.  My coworkers commemorated the event by presenting me with the t-shirt below.  I wore it proudly.  It reads "The older you get, the better you get - unless you're a banana."

Thanks Deb.

I look happy.  I feel happy.

So much of it has to do with St. Ann's.  My work mates are amazing.  The residents too.  I feel like won the lottery.

Thank you Lord - please continue to have mercy on me!  Amen.

Swimming

I started swimming on a regular basis a couple of months ago and I have to say that while it's a fantastic way to do exercise, I really hate it.  Other than the feeling of accomplishment that I get when my body's tired (and yet strangely energized) at the end of a session, there's very little about swimming that I like.

Most of the time the water temperature of public pools is too cold.

Swimming 50m, the length of the pool, seems like running a marathon.  I'm exhausted by the time I get to the end.  And that's just one length.  I still have to get back to my original starting point.  And then, do it another 14 times.

Every time I put my head underwater I feel like I'm going to drown.  Fifteen minutes into my routine I feel like my lungs are going to explode.

Anyways, all of this to say that when my 10-pack of tickets expires around Christmas time, I think I'm going to stop swimming.  Hopefully by then it'll be cold enough to go cross-country skiing.

Marco

Got a new roommate.  His name's Marco, he's a post-Doc from Italy.  Very smart, very likeable.

It's undeniable that having a housemate has been good for me.  It's made me come out of my shell and be more sociable.

Now, if only this sociable-ness would extend to women.  Not the ones on dating websites ... but the real ones, in flesh in blood...

Marco will work at a the UofS, at a newly formed food research centre.
