Swimming

I figure that instead of doing intensive cardio at the Y's treadmill and killing my knees, I've been swimming instead. It's been very enjoyable and after a long day at The Studio, it's so nice just to put on my bathing suit and jump into the water—that is, after the babies+parents swim and kid swim. It's all worth it though because I get to do all my leg press machines and chin-ups before. Deb has been joining me and it's such a bonus to have a swimming partner. She even introduced me to flippers, which make me feel like a real swimmer.

So I was asked whether I wanted to stay on after the summer and I don't know if I want to. It's a hard decision because I don't have any other real offers. I'm currently in the process of applying for several residencies and fellowships that range from October to next year. I'm also going to meet Alex's cousin, who works for a glass company in Massachusetts next week. We will see.

Other than this and that, I'm excited for my days off on Friday and Saturday. I might have very special visitors from Buffalo and if not, Alex will come down anyways and I'm thinking of visiting the gorges at Watkins Glen or in Ithaca. Wee!
