the secretary of health & human svcs [just confirmed today] is kathleen sebelius.

my nanners have a lot to say to me. they give me advice. they keep me happy. every batch of nanners has a sticker, see. here they are on my desk.

look at all those lovely words of wisdom. «the food that fights for you» heh. nanners out there with their little nanner brass knuckles duking it out with the strawberries & the pomegranates. nanners are funny. stickers not shown include «peel. eat. repeat daily.» which is quite instructive and the incomparable «place sticker on forehead. smile.» - an instruction which i do in fact follow b/c it is so important to follow nanner instructions. i apologize for the wackness of the picture. that's the iphone camera for ya. it's a communication device, not a camera. sha!

tonight i went by the pool and swam the short course. i swam 32 laps if you count there as a lap & back as a lap. i swam 16 laps if you count there & back again as a lap. either way, that's supposed to be a mile. i finished in 20 minutes. that would be quite zippy, and though i believe i am a capable swimmer, i am not convinced i am a zippy swimmer. what say ye? i say this - the tri suit still fits. yippe ki yay! it's fun to go to the pool in the tri suit b/c people think i know what i'm doing. that is, until i get in the pool & do my laps of doggiepaddle. woof! woof!
