Really surprised they are making us wait this long  &#8211; and I suspect it really isn&#8217;t necessary since they already did the cutting the day before yesterday. <\/p>\n<p>I went to lunch with some co-workers yesterday and we were talking about our various exercise routines.  A couple of them got the conversation started since they were in the Zip-off weight loss challenge.  One of them asked me about the name of a particular swimming stroke and I explained what I knew about it.   I told them I did a modified breast stoke that adds a scissors kick. <\/p>\n<p>And then things got slightly inappropriate.<\/p>\n<p>One of them asked if there was a name for the stroke I did and suggested that it be called:  the &#8220;serpette stroke&#8221;.   Someone else said that sounded kinda dirty.   I replied that, &#8220;I only do that one when I&#8217;m in the pool by myself,&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Someone else added, &#8220;and you&#8217;re near the filter, right?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Well, I said it was inappropriate, didn&#8217;t I?<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, they were impressed that I could a 1\/2 mile and we moved the conversation to less murky waters.<\/p>\n<p>Other news..I seemed to have come down with a minor head cold.   Took some Alkeseltzer (sp?) last night &#8211; which is an indication of how bad I was feeling because most of the time I would rather just be sick than take that foul-tasting swill.   It was a little better this time around since I mixed it with cran-raspberry juice.  Made for some really odd foam &#8211; but it tasted a little better.  I&#8217;m better today, must have been able to fight it off last night.<\/p>\n<p>Got a meeting filled day ahead of me &#8211; looks like I need to get to it.  later&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img width='1' height='1' src='https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/7938355-6651548600595599243?l=approximatelyequalto.blogspot.com' alt='' \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The driveway to my apartment is still blocked off, so I&#8217;m still &#8220;off-roading it&#8221; to get to my garage and back out again.
