Hi all, Last year I foolishly agreed to captain a small team to represent the Redwoods at the annual Swim Across America ... and to my surprise, it was pretty fun and not really much work; and, we raised a lot of money for a great cause: the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. So I'm willing to do it again (and am totally willing to share in the glory, if you're interested in helping). And this year we have a great cause: we're swimming to honor one of our own -- Tricia, who's currently recovering and on her way back to the water. Important details: the swim is Saturday September 7, in Lake Washington, from Mercerwood's beach to Luther Burbank park. Please join me on the Mercer Island Redwoods team at http://www.swimacrossamerica.org/site/TR/OpenWater/Seattle?team_id=6460&pg=team&fr_id=1959. Click the Join Team link on that page and go from there. Thanks!!! and I'll see you in the water. hj
