How I did it
How to take it to the next level...
It took me
5 months
It made me
transitional

How I did it: I went with the wave.  I never stopped thinking about tomorrow.  I never looked down.  I never looked back.  I used the wind beneath my wings.  I only believed.  I used the Force.  I went beyond the shadow of a doubt.  I thought outside the box.  I surrendered.  I was indomitable.  I took vitamins.

How to travel all 7 continents during my lifetime & start by reading the Lonely Planet Guide to Croatia.
It took me
1000 years
It made me
anticipatory

How I did it: I listened avidly to the more widely-traveled and read guides to faraway places.  I faced my fears of being eaten by a shark, mugged, raped, shot or blown up in a faraway land, realizing that most of these things are just as likely to happen in Los Angeles as anywhere else....well....it's a toss-up.  Anyway, we'll see.  Money, as always, is the object.

How to write a (sloppy, half-formed if need be) poem every day (or so) during June 2009
It took me
36 days
It made me
delightfully complex

How I did it: I tried to believe there might be an audience.  This can be difficult.  Wordsworth's opinion became my mantra, though I had still the overflow with less of the tranquility.  Well...that's why I don't write How-To books.WW:  Now the music of harmonious metrical language, the sense of difficulty overcome, and the blind association of pleasure which has been previously received from works of rhyme or metre of the same or … Read how I did it…

finally 23 hours ago

Swam for an hour today. Man…I am soooooooooooooooooooooooo out of shape. I had to pause and catch my breath at the end of each lap. My knee eventually started hurting. Then my other knee joined in. I didn’t catch my second wind until about 25 minutes into it and I was out of breath when I staggered up out of the pool to go flop in the sauna.

Hehe good thing it was kind of chilly outside of the pool or I would probably have quit early! as it is, my wimpiness towards being cold conquered my exercise wimpiness AND my thirstiness. I wouldn’t even get out to get some water! I’m thinking I might bring my bath robe next time!!!

It’s a really nice change from the pool at my old gym (same company}. What a difference location makes. And this one is newer and cleaner, but best of all, the west-facing wall is all windows, so I got to swim in the glow of sundown. Niiiiiiiice.
