She protested, "But we don't know anything about each other."
He replied, "That's all right; we'll learn about each other as we go along."
So she consented, and they were married, and went on a honeymoon to a very nice resort.
One morning, they were lying by the pool when he got up off his towel, climbed up to the 10 meter board and did a two and a half tuck gainer, entering the water perfectly, almost without a ripple.
This was followed by a three rotations in jackknife position before he again straightened out and cut the water like a knife. After a few more demonstrations, he came back and lay down on his towel.
She said, "That was incredible!"
He said, "I used to be an Olympic diving champion. You see, I told you we'd learn more about each other as we went along."
So she got up, jumped in the pool and started doing laps.
She was moving so fast that the froth from her pushing off at one end of the pool would hardly be gone before she was already touching the other end.
She did laps in freestyle, breast-stroke, even butterfly!
After about thirty laps, completed in mere minutes, she climbed back out and lay down on her towel, barely breathing heavy.
He said, "That was incredible! Were you an Olympic endurance swimmer?"
No, she said, "I was a hooker in CORNWALL and I worked both sides of the river!"

Whoa, hello Saturday. Now a bit later on, unless things change, we are supposed to watch our grandson so our daughter can participate in the River Shiver Run in Ogdensburg. However, as it is snow pretty good and the wind is blowing, temp is around 27 degrees, who in hell knows. This is all prep for a bigger run in March -- oh these jogging nuts -- they are something!!!
In Minnesota another hockey tournament this weekend but its local so that will make it easier on the family. Hey, no long drive, no need to get a hotel and as for food, they could go home and eat -- what's not to like. Our grandson loves to play hockey and he's really a good player too. Wish we could be there to see the game but I'd freeze so I shall quietly wait for the phone calls. Hey, my looking forward to travel is now focused on a trip to Minnesota in May to watch our oldest grandson graduate and spend some time with the family and other grand kids.
Yes, thanks for asking, I am doing much better. Surgery went well and I'm just having to go slow and let the recovery happen. I like to think I have more energy than is real and quickly discover I get exhausted fast, so its slow and easy. Oh well, it will happen.
Have a great weekend.
