Its a little bit difficult for me because english is not my own language but I read a few pages and i think it will be no problem! I let you know what i think about it! Open water season here is also in full force. Today really nice weather and that's good because tonight i am invited to a poolparty with friends! I don,t think the evening will end without a swim.

The other hours i am a cabby-driver. But i''ts not bad that there is no water or swimming in the books. I wanted this book especially for school. Did you already publish the other manuscripts. I really am interested, not only because of the swimming and waterscenes!<br />But as a matter a fact it is always nice to read about swim and wateradventures. Today i am a day off and i just returened from a swim of half an hour and guess... I swam with my clothes on! In some way I felt like swimming fully clothed today and I must say: it was fun!. I write you when I got the book and read it!<br />Bye, MarcAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076911909032996694.post-7915964654608663472012-04-26T11:53:11.917-07:002012-04-26T11:53:11.917-07:00Oh, Marc, that's awesome!

But also not often in my clothes. I find out it gives a liberating feeling to swim fully clothed when I forgot my swimming trousers once. The woman who had to observe the bathing guest for their safety said it wouldn't be a problem when i jumped in with my clothes on. I did and I must say it was very funny. Since that day sometimes when there is an opportunity I 'll take the plunge!.Do you know if your book is available here in Europe? I read a lot and i am always curious for new writers i don't know.

I don't often swim in my clothes... this followed my author photo shoot and I really thought it would be fun -- since I like the water so much (and swim daily) to take it in the water, but my publisher and agent wanted a more professional photo in my clothes. So I compromised and plunged in after the shoot. :)gae polisnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10491813685110351809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076911909032996694.post-44454224981848099942012-04-21T06:48:36.002-07:002012-04-21T06:48:36.002-07:00Hello Gae, the reason i write this is because i am...Hello Gae, the reason i write this is because i am fascinated by your "swimmingpool pictures". I like them very much because they are really good. I think it shows a woman with selfconfidence. Besides I think swimming fully clothed is liberating. I like it very much myselve.

So, we didn't get our five-mile swim in -- it's still on my list and I think I'm signed up for one with Annmarie? but I still want to, so let's keep it on our list. On the other hand, you made 100 swims this season, EASY!, and we just swam again on November 13. So at least we keep pushing ourselves to new places and I think that's the important thing. Here's to a swift winter in the chlorine and an early start in the salt in late April!?!? (Okay, fine, early May!). You and the Pod are my heart. <br /><br />Gaegae polisnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10491813685110351809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076911909032996694.post-69644991819249037272011-01-07T20:13:55.238-08:002011-01-07T20:13:55.238-08:00"The Pull of Gravity"? That title is its..."The Pull of Gravity"? That title is itself about aging...and explains why (at the recently achieved age of 56) I am now a 38-Long...! Loved your blog, and salute you on your New Year's resolutions. As for mine, I have a new approach this year. Rather than suffer the inevitable disappointment of failed resolutions, I resolve only to do things I know I can achieve. So, this year, I resolve to be at least ten minutes late for work every day. I resolve to gain at least ten pounds this winter. I resolve to get myself to the weight room at least once during 2011 -- and I resolve to swim every chance I get. And every single day, I resolve to be grateful -- for all of it...Happy New Year, Gae! See you on that 5-mile swim!Carol L.

It is the hardest thing to do in life, especially when you've lost something dear or a job has taken an unexpected turn for the worse. Letting go takes courage and can bring new horizons. I once took on a history job for a group of people who loved their town's history and wanted children to learn about it. There was no money, but I knew that I was the one to create it. It was like laying back on a cloud and hoping it would hold me up. It did. The money eventually came through -long after I started. The program is 14 years and still going strong.<br />Yes, we age, but I'm at peace with that too.historywriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646517639758524668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076911909032996694.post-66151242945228587502010-12-30T10:18:19.729-08:002010-12-30T10:18:19.729-08:00This is strange, but true: I've never made a ...This is strange, but true: I've never made a New Year's resolution.
