Eating....

Just thought I'd share with you all the joy of the sandwich that I'm currently eating as I peruse random things online. Sometimes, a good sandwich is the best thing possible, especially for a late saturday lunch!

It starts with a nice multigrain bread toasted twice for extra crunchiness.
Then a thin layer of mayo - not too much, not too little.
Next comes a layer of aged cheddar cheese - put on quickly after the bread is toasted - so that it melts just a tiny bit.
Following that; enough sausage to cover the whole sandwich. (Any good sausage will do...)
Then; another layer of cheese, followed by a layer of really thinly sliced pickles, then tomatoes. A generous sprinkling of alfalfa sprouts, salt & pepper, top it with the next piece of bread, and voila!

And now you're probably thinking I must be extremely bored. Nope, just really enjoying my sandwich! (I'd post a picture, but i don't think you want to see the remaining quarter of the sandwich...)

So...

Jenn suggested I put something here, and I figured I heed my wise wife's advice and do as she said. Hmm, what to say. For one thing; swimming makes you tired. For those of you who didn't know, I am getting a weekly lesson in humility, otherwise know as 'adult swimming class'. There is a regular size pool, with 6 lanes full of people learning how to swim. 5 of those lanes are children, 1 of those lanes is adults. As of tonight I have completed 7 lessons (or 8?), and if I can keep up with the 7 year olds in the next lane, I feel like I am having a good night. There is a lot to be said about learning things like this when you're a kid!

I think my best stroke so far is the back stroke, followed by the front crawl. Breast-stroke, well, it's the 'whip-kick' that is just not there; as a swimming colleague put it "this is my weekly reminder of my lack of coordination..." But I'm glad I'm in the class (glad that Jenn pushed me to do it) because I have learned a lot, and if I can take it a little further, I think it would be an enjoyable form of excercise.
