Went swimming this afternoon and chugged out 5/8 of a mile again. At the moment I'm doing about 1 length a minute. That does not give me a one hour mile--must work on that. But I'm doing more back crawl rather than front crawl (easier on a sciatic back) and that's always been slower for me. I quit at 5/8 because the pool was filling up, and two of the new arrivals were a father and son who were horseplaying a bit. The gym is supposedly going to build an outdoor pool. That should take care of the people who want to play, rather than work out. someone else was ticked off by them too.

But it's nice to be able to keep going in the water for almost an hour. I wonder if I'll ever be able to walk that long again.

Tomorrow afternoon I shall be glued to the TV--the first Saints game of the season. September 25 will be the first home game in two years. And it's against our archrivals the Atlanta Falcons. The Dome will be rocking! A full house there is about 68,000 and they have sold 65,000 season tickets so far. It will be good to see our friends from the seating section too. I think I shall not work that day, but do my three days that week on Wed. thru Fri.

The rest of this evening will be spent watching TV drivel while I do some more reading.
