i dreamt that i was packing my life up for a move. it seemed that i was setting out from here in connecticut, but the feeling was that i was heading home, from a long distance off.


i checked my email today and there were two confirmations of pages from george. (i'm out of service range at home, and so i didn't get the pages themselves.) and instead of just emailing him back i called him. just goes to show that some circuit in my brain has blown. of course i've known george forever, so i can call him with very little of my usual trepidation about phones.

later in the afternoon sam and his friend george were bugging me to drive them to the beach. eventually i gave in, and decided what the hell, i'd go swimming myself. it was cold, but not as cold as i'd expected. i did learn however, just how out of shape i am. we swam out to the raft furthest out, maybe 75 yards, and i was kinda out of breath and my muscles felt a bit weak. we dove in a few times and swam around a bit. and then came back in. on the way back to the shore i felt completely exhausted. i was floating on my back about half way in thinking i could just sorta sink here and not have to swim anymore. when i did get to the shore, i was out of breath, light headed, my heart was beating way out of control.

i've got to start exercising.
