Always evolving, Never Average
I swam all four years I was at Lehigh. I made some really, really good friends. That’s the way it normally works with swimmers. If you are on the swim team, you have friendships and bonds for life. Only swimmers understand the swim life. The swim team is its own fraternity and sorority. Along with …Read More
One of the reasons I am such a big proponent of exercise — aside from the obvious physical benefits and the mental health benefits and the example you are setting for your kids when it’s a regular part of your routine — is that you are pushed out of your physical comfort zone. And this …Read More
I’ve recently started watching The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. It took me a long time to pull the trigger to watch this show. I’ve had friends rave, but for some reason I just didn’t think I’d like it. I was wrong. I LOVE IT. If you’ve never heard of it, it’s about a newly married housewife …Read More

Today is my grandma’s birthday. I’ve been thinking about her a lot in the last twenty-four hours since the Skillet Throw and knowing it was her birthday the next day. My grandma was not perfect. She was kinda judgmental and a little bit of a racist in a super naive and ignorant way. But she …Read More
One of the things that makes the end of the summer not so bad is the Goshen Fair. I’ve been going to the Goshen Fair on Labor Day weekend since before I can remember. For like over forty years. It’s an agricultural fair that has rides and animals and competitions and food and all sorts …Read More
It’s not officially the last weekend of summer, but school started last week and swim practice and baseball start next week so this weekend is pretty much the last hurrah for Summer 2019. It is a beautiful day here in CT today and a couple friends are coming over and so I just want to …Read More
