9 Gold Medals?

Look out Michael Phelps and Stephanie Rice - you'll have some stiff competition in London in 2012.  We've been swimming weekly at the 2000 Australian Olympic training facility in Ryde, and we swim a mean freestyle - at least compared to the elderly that also frequent the lap pool.  I realize that these photos are somewhat incriminating, but I hope they provide a bit of comic relief for those of you who follow the blog.  After all, goggles are a good look.

Aside from our recently developed hobby, things have remained fairly routine here in Gladesville.  I'm studying for a comprehensive theory exam on Wednesday and preparing for our practical assessment to be conducted over three days next week.  It's hard to believe my basic course will end in two weeks, but I'm certainly looking forward to refining my patisserie skills in the intermediate level of study.  Wilson's courses have demanded more of his time than he originally expected, as he seems to have a written assignment due every couple of days.  He is also continuing his preparation for the LSAT, which he is taking at Macquarie University on October 4th - only 4 weeks left!  Until then, we'll just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming . . .
