Swimming Video

今天去游泳时某同学要求跟着，还拿照相机拍了一段video。回家后看自己挥着两条小胖胳膊在水里慢吞吞地划呀划的，忍不住哈哈笑出声来。不过真的颇有教育效果，可以看出自己换气的时候头转动幅度太大了。难怪花样滑冰教练都爱给学生拍录像呢。

The Swimmer

He was tall and lacked any bulk. Sliding in the water, his long slim body remained perfectly centered in a straight line, driving noiselessly forward. A long, brown arm rose out of the water, circled forward, and fell almost lazily, fingertips first, like a knife cutting into the water ahead. Then the other arm rose and repeated its circle. The lower legs and feet kicked gently, barely breaking the surface, leaving hardly any waves behind. His rhythm seemed leisurely, almost slow, yet the walls on both sides flew by. His body looked almost still except for the gentle rolling from side to side with each arm stroke. Everything was in perfect harmony as water split apart before him. He was so quiet with nary a splash, like a water snake.

一把老骨头

从本周起减为每周工作四天。睡了个懒觉，中午去游泳，下午在书店里晃荡一圈。真舒服呀，最近两年又忙工作又不开心，总算有点活回来的感觉。

我这把老骨头，几年没游泳也没锻炼了，今天才泡了半个钟，就腰酸背痛，尤其是 rotator cuffs，阿呦，好象一条胳膊要从 shoulder sockets 掉下来一样。最近大概是用 mouse 过度，右胳膊一直有点酸痛，这下子 ... 希望多游几次可有显著的改善。

********
马里兰有家饺子馆，现包现卖，皮薄馅多，尤其是茴香猪肉馅是个特色。门面小而简陋，生意极好，每次周末中午去都免不了要等呀么等座位。两个月之前去吃，大门紧闭，窗户上一张市政府的通知，仿佛是卫生检查没通过，另有一张老板的告示，说是装修厨房，暂停营业，但屋里也不见装修的工人。

我隔三差五地上 chowhound 网站上查消息，那里的吃货消息比较灵通。果然，两星期之前有人在店外停车场碰见老板娘，据说装修已经尾声，政府的许可证也快到手，我心里一块大石财落地。今天打电话过去竟然有人接，原来他们已经重新开张了。阿弥陀佛，明天就赶去搓一顿！

幸福就是饺子馆重开呀。
