I am still alive. I plan to wrap up the Tuolumne County Masters Aquatics 2010 calendar today, and I will have a life again. In fact, after I toss this cantankerous, s-l-o-w Dell computer out the window, I will attend the Pacific Masters Swimming annual meeting / potluck at Heather Farms in Walnut Creek.
Here is a sneak peek of what I've been up to...
Any other USMS teams out there need a calendar?

So, I’m in the process of editing thousands of images for this Tuolumne County Aquatics Masters (TCAM) calendar. I came across this image from the Pacific Masters Swimming 2009 Short Course Meters Championships. I don’t know who this is – he isn’t a teammate – but I dig the water flowing off his head. If anyone knows who this is, tell him to email me - I have many more images he might enjoy.

I figured it was the least I could do: my teammates have been pretty kind about allowing me to point a camera in their direction. Proceeds from the sales will be donated to an as yet undetermined local worthy cause. (No, not my camera gear fund!) I asked Coach Patti to decide, and I certainly trust her opinion in ...

Injuries and a heavy workload prevented me from competing in triathlons this past season. (Remember, I came to U.S. Masters swimming to feel more confident in the swim portion of triathlons.) This change of plans had me hanging out at the pool more than normal which allowed me to get to know some fun, interesting folks (is it me, or are swimmers a tad less competitive than triathletes?). They've inspired me to compete in a few swim meets - assuming my numerous injuries heal.

Sometimes daily deadlines and a horrible internet connection prevent me from having fun here on the blog. And by horrible internet connection, I mean this company. For those of you fortunate enough to live in an urban area where you have access to DSL and all sorts of high-speed and UNLIMITED internet - I so completely and entirely envy you! My two options here in the hinterlands are dial-up (stop snickering) and satellite. In case you didn't know, satellite internet providers limit your daily access. Once you've reached their "Fair Access Policy" quota - that's it, you're kicked off for at least 24 hours. And, to add insult to injury, ...
