Thanks, Casey. I wish I already knew how to swim. Not that I'm afraid of water or can't get around easily enough with my little doggie paddle. But I don't know how to do it the "right" way, you know. And I have a wonky shoulder from years of computer/keyboard use. I'm not even sure I have full range of motion there. So I'm afraid I'll be awkward and graceless in addition to fat. If you're awkward and graceless when you're thin that's one thing. But if you're fat, it seems like everything gets blamed on the weight.
