The Hair Thing

Guess Which One's Larry Fine ?
Another milestone.  I got some anti-chlorine shampoo !  I've been swimming so much that my hair needs special treatment.  I got this weird haircut just before my lessons and the combination of chlorine damage makes it poke out in all different directions.  Especially in the morning, I look like Larry Fine of the Three Stooges.  Sorry guys, it's kind of a girl thing all this hair talk.

Water (especially the deep kind) is my friend and we've been bonding now for three months.  I don't want to lose the skills and tools Carol taught me so I made a commitment to practice every day even if it's for just 20 minutes.  It was cloudy today and about 68 degrees out but I jumped in the pool just before dinner to get in a 20-min swim.  As usual, it revived my body and spirit.  Plus the pool guy came by this morning and cleaned it out so it was squeaky clean !

This new bottle of shampoo and conditioner is a sign that I've passed a threshold.  I am a swimmer !  Would it be corny if I saved this first bottle of anti-chlorine shampoo as a reminder of how far I've come  (like a trophy) ?
