The end of pool season.
Tomorrow is the saddest day of the year for me. The guys come and close the pool for the winter. I was doing 60 lengths every day since we opened it except about five. A couple days I froze my ass off, but only until I got warmed up. Swimming is a great cardio exercise. It's also a great place to think though the short stories I have been writing for the past two years. I'm working on my 22nd at the moment. Every time I get stuck, I get into the pool and start swimming and sooner or later, an idea comes forth and suddenly I'm unstuck. Now it's all about the free walking. I have figured that 30 trips around the outside of my house is equivalent to 60 lengths in the pool. Hopefully it works for the thinking part too.

Just say Hi
I go for a walk every day along the banks of the Fraser and the Pitt River, and this is my view as I walk. I have a weekly routine as I walk. On the first day I walk for 6 km, the next I walk 9 km and then I walk 11 km and go back to the 6 km walk. I enjoy the walk and seeing the ...
