While it isn’t quite the Euro-trip the Karwoski brothers are undertaking, I’ve been on a little stay-cation here in Los Angeles the past few days.  I’ve been house-sitting an awesome house in the Hollywood Hills with a great yard and an amazing pool.

Each night before I go to bed I do some laps followed by some relaxing in the hot tub.  It has been a nice treat and reminds me of how much I used to love to swim.  When I was a kid there wasn’t much you could do to get me outta the pool- I just loved being in the water.  I joined my neighborhood swim team when I was nine or ten and kept at it through high school.

These days I rarely get an opportunity to do it anymore.  Not belonging to a gym, I’m hard-pressed to find a pool to use.  But it is great exercise, and I’m always beat after a good swim.  One of these days, when I finally have the means to join a gym, I’ll get back into my swimming habits.

All right, time for my nightly dip.  See you all next week!
