AWWWWwww
so i swam 2000 yds this morning, and about one third of the way through i notice this little old lady wrapped in a yellow towel watching me.
i come up for air and to take a couple swigs of my water bottle, when...
"miss!!?!"
"yes!?".. the little old lady is now standing at the edge of the pool. she bends down towards me, points down the lane and says.. "you are very pretty when you swim, its really lovely to watch".
"um.. omg! thank you! that's so sweet!"
she just smiled and nodded and trotted off.
i was dumbfounded. who gets complimented on the way they LOOK in the pool!!?!
who!!?!
well... ME!
ha!!!
i swam away kind of laughing and figured hell.... i might not be fast, but damn if i ain't purty!
and i'll tell you what...
that kinda made my day!

Nice! It's so nice that she would take the time and risk possible awkwardness to tell you that! It would have made my day, too. (Also, 2000 yards? That is SOOO far!)

Somehow, when that happens in Austin, it's sweetness and light. In Houston, it's kind of pervy.

You do have a good stroke. And you look pretty calm out there. Unlike me, who just has to keep thinking...DON"T DROWN!!
