I was in again today.<br /><br />® Last weekend: If you've been to Toronto, Jody, you've been to the centre of the Universe. (I'm a refugee from there — but frankly, I prefer the hinterland.)<br />It would be good if you could get into the swim of things. I'm sure you would thoroughly enjoy it.Rob-bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171692478879522588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780769436411348454.post-69553406887068308092011-07-03T22:18:31.135-06:002011-07-03T22:18:31.135-06:00® Blog Fodder: Double you or quits = Double of not...® Blog Fodder: Double you or quits = Double of nothing.<br /><br />® Laura: Thanks. Now, if we can at least get you into your pool, even if your can't swim, you can do some creative, gentle exercises. Or you could learn to swim.<br />(And here I thought that every Canadian could swim, climb, canoe, and ski; silly old Bear.)<br /><br />® Dedine: Thanks. I used to swim a lot when I was younger. Now I've rediscovered it, but I'm not ready to go back to being a life guard.<br /><br />® Genie: Glad you enjoyed seeing Kate. She is such a sweetheart. <br />The pin you mention is one that the Queen wore to Canada for Canada Day last year. She loaned it to Kate for this year.<br />And tell me, please, about all the wonderful swimming pools in Paris.Rob-bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171692478879522588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780769436411348454.post-44719385121714647832011-07-03T17:54:00.784-06:002011-07-03T17:54:00.784-06:00Great to hear about this national day - still have...Great to hear about this national day - still have not been up to Canada yet except for Toronto.

Even in the pool; especially in the pool.<br /><br />® Frances: Too many Eeyore-type gloomy posts. We're making a change here. <br />The five W questions. My staple as a broadcaster/journalist.

About what people value, what they see as important; the ethical question.<br />And you're right; Lady Kate is such a sweetheart.<br />Also, I think swimming is like riding a bicycle; one never entirely forgets how.<br /><br />® Brenda Susan: The fact that swimming puts minimal stress on joint and muscles is the reason I'm going for it.

Swimming is my all-time favorite outdoor sport. Though my swimming, when i get an invitation is mostly a matter of soaking and floating around.<br />So glad for you!
