Sunday's blog was about a cursing Scotsman, but not a real Scotsman, a wanna be, FAKE NEWS.   But speak of the devil, an honest-to-god real Scotsman shows up on the beach, Mark from Aberdeen.  By chance he was doing a training swim for his upcoming Chicago Tri.  Our fake Scotsman invites him over for our traditional post swim shot and he joins us, gotta love those Scots.  So if mentioning someone in the blog means they show up on the beach, here's to you, Susan Sarandon.

Matriarch and I are leaving for Tennessee early Wednesday, to visit our granddaughter and also for a total eclipse party.  By luck they live right in the middle of the path of totality.

So that means I will miss the Big Swell swim on Sunday.  But good luck to all those participating.  Gie it laldy!

Quit changing the subject, and let's get back to mentioning the Swedish National Swimsuit Team! Or Halle Berry!

I'm doing Big Swell as well. Question is -- how much will Itch "beat" me by this time? :)

Magic Mike said...

I'm doing big swell, despite the fact that I have not swum in three days or more. Getting antsy!

jamie said...

yes, yes.....but we'll see. Meatloaf/Molly is coming off a taper and I'm still in the throws of heavy duty training, I'll do my damndest...but I'm not programmed to peak until early September. no excuses just science and pinpoint planning. and placing my lucky heavy duty magnet near the official timing chip reader.
