Next Swims: Thu, Fri, Sept 17, 18, 6AM
Last Swims: Wednesday September 16th 6AM
Water Temp: 57
Waves: One foot rollers out of the south
Water Clarity: cloudy
Crew: Panini, Super Hera, Showgirl, Forger, Kahuna, Captain, Diablo, Itch
Wetsuit/Skin: 6/2
The sunrise was gorgeous, and the lake was welcoming-- it was another amazing morning at the beach.
After vehemently asserting his desire to swim SOUTH into the waves, Itch led us north, followed obediently by the rest of the crew. Some rode the waves as far as mudslide, and then slogged back to the beach against them.
The Patriarch will be on vacation thru next week I am occasionally guest blogging in his absence, so please lower your expectations and expand your practice of forgiveness. Kahuna begged me to include plenty of fashion and make-up tips-- I'll see what I can do.

Thanks for filling in Showgirl. nice job. A couple of pointers. First, I think you should keep your lovers spats with Itch out of the blog. It's embarrassing for the rest of us to be caught in the middle. Second, don't let Kahuna badger you, no matter how many makeup and fashion tips you give him he will never be an acceptable wetsuit zipper upper
Interesting that word "badger" and its multiple and flexible meanings. Probably good advice Patriarch, but it reminds me, everybody knows verse one of the below song, but I always liked the more obscure and interesting propositions that those college men of the 1920s put forth in verses II and IV of the song (or was it those daring college women of the '20s, singing in reply to the men on alternating verses?).
Verse I:
If you want to be a Badger, just come along with me,
By the light, by the light, by the light of the moon.
If you want to be a Badger, just come along with me
By the bright shining light of the moon.
Chorus:
By the light of the moon, by the light of the moon,
By the bright shining light, by the light of the moon.
If you want to be a Badger, just come along with me,
By the light, by the light, by the light of the moon.
Verse II:
Did you ever see a Badger, who didn't want to spoon,
By the light, by the light, by the light of the moon.
Did you ever see a Badger, who didn't want to spoon,
By the bright shining light of the moon.
[Chorus]
...
Verse IV:
If you want a little Badger, we'll see want we can do,
By the light, by the light, by the light of the moon.
If you want a little Badger, we'll see want we can do,
By the bright shining light of the moon.
[Chorus]
Jeeszsch, after 8 a.m. already and no new blog entry -- when does the Patriarch return?
