10.02.05 - I Did It

Tonight, I was cleaning the leaves out of our pool, getting ready to close it for the year, and I dove in. The water was 58 degrees. It was refreshing and numbing. Now I can say that I swam in the spring, summer and fall! Bragging rights. My family thinks I'm nuts. I may do it again tomorrow after my visit to NYC.

*Monica said...

You are one brave boy..I have trouble diving in on a moderate day.

kat said...

Trish - I was going to say the same thing. :-)

Chloe said...

You're gonna have to jump in when winter rolls around, too. You realize this, don't you?!

Yoda said...

Why is winter missing from the list? C'mon, you can do it!!!!!!!!!!

I had a Burrrrr-ito for lunch.

Bad joke? Yes, I know :-p

Phil said...

mr. schprock, any guy who can bike over 100 miles in a day like we can must have a special crank. We need not worry.

Everyone, here's the kicker, I was all set to dive in again after chemo today, but my friend sent his guys over and they shut down my pool ;-( I have to settle for an ice cold shower now. Hey, if you haven't tried it, it really is great, You know you're alive!

Chloe, I have to get my ice saw ready.

Yoda, Burrrrr-ito, I love bad puns!

If you go about one toe at a time, you may never get in. Dive into life guys/gals

Brrrr! I once swam in Lake Superior in April. It wasn't really a swim but a dip and I turned kind of blue!

Monkey said...

You're a true Polar Bear Phil! Come join us on New Years Day on the beach in Cape Elizabeth. Then your family will know you're nuts.

Phil said...

I'm Game.

Monkey said...

And there it is: you're insane.

Toni Farley said...

Completely freakin nuts. I won't even get in the pool until we've had 15 100+ days in a row.

_Karyl said...

funny....you don't strike me as the type to enjoy bad puns.....HA! Special crank? is that another word for watchamacallit?

Astrid said...

I like nuts!

Phil said...

Boo, you've got the right idea

Hey, don't knock it till you try it. 10,000 polar bears can't be wrong.

_Karyl, you're a sick woman

Astrid, we'd get a long fine then
