Peggy spotted a little news item on the local sports page today. The Second Annual Geezer Games are slated for the weekend of June 16 & 17 in Newport. Being how Jerry and I are geezers (over 50), we’re going to participate!! There’s ping pong for him, and swimming and running for me. I had actually planned to start swimming again tomorrow so this is good timing.
I got out my swim bag that has been sitting in the closet for a couple years. Goggles still seem OK, cap is rotten, fins are for maybe later this summer, swim suit should be all right. However, I am packing two tomorrow so I have a back up if needed. There’s also a biathlon July 28 locally that I want to do. It’s a swim/run. The distances are such that I should do them without too much difficulty. Of course, I will have to train. I haven’t been in the pool for years, as afore mentioned; and my running has been curtailed with school.

the next day….
Well, we may be geezers but Jerry still works. After talking more about the weekend, he verified the dates. Yup, whiting season starts June 15 so he needs to be here for work those days. Rats! Oh, well, another time perhaps.
as a certain southern belle said, tomorrow is another day.
