psych! i bet you guys thought i left already. that's what we, in the military, call 'no timeline.' takes years of training to learn that technique.
i had a blast today working with yutes. volunteered to be the timekeeper (not gatekeeper, as in ghostbusters) at lane 9 of a swim meet. all you competitive swimmers know what this means. if you dont let me describe the typical swimmer that came over to our lane. our lane 9 swimmers came in different sizes, ages, and gender. but they had one thing generally in common. they would swim from lane marker rope thing to the wall and back and forth. sorta like the game 'bricks' when you shoot the ball at the edge and the ball bounces crazily all the way up. crazy, but it goes to where you want. and even if i had given the kids a 10 second handicap, they'd still come in last. oh yes. they were the slow kids and not so great of swimmers ("hey you, i know you, i know you"). i still had much respect for them because i couldnt do what they could. i'd probably need rescuing in the middle of the lane from one of the fine looking lifeguards. i'm kidding. they're not fine looking and they were dudes. but there were fine looking people on the pool deck. and before you go 'dateline' on me, i was talking about the legal age ones. anyway, my favorite swimmers were the 10 and younger kids. they were so cute, especially the 6 year old group. that was the youngest group. i had fun talking to the yutes before they took the block. i'd pump them up, tell them a joke, and give them old asian man words of wisdom. and i even had five kids dedicate their race to me (we had 80 total events, each with multiple heats). yes, to me. not the other lane 9 timer or their family or friends or Jesus. to me. why? because the kids love the Yoohoo... well, three of them knew me already but two were complete strangers. my feeble immature mind can penetrate the adolescent shield and intermingle like one of their own.
foolish me, no sunscreen. friggin hot today too. i definitely look like mr crabs except with fantastically distinct tan lines.

I'm not that strong of a swimmer.
Why has organized Korean crime targeted the Davidsons?
You should answer yes to all your marriage proposals then hold a tournament where they all fight to death for your hand in marriage.
Did you know Chuck Norris lived in Korea and got his black belt there after he defeated the black dragon and its dojo? Yeah, an actual dragon. His cowboy boots on Walker are made from the skin taken from a very delicate area.
unfrozen cave man lawyer! i'm actually going to learn martial arts from the guy who taught norris... so he says. i dont know why he's alive since norris kills his masters afterwards... twice.
