swimming
I feel like I should have a little Dory over my shoulder: “just keep swimming, just keep swimming.”
I’m going to be in Spokane and Seattle and Portland started on the 27th of June, through the 8th of July. If you’re around and available, we should definitely hang… now I must sleep and get rested before another 20+ laps at 5.30am tomorrow.
by the by…
I’m going to be in Seattle and Portland in a few weeks. I leave Spokane for Seattle on the 3rd of July. And leave Seattle for Portland on the 6th or the 7th of July…
Call me Crazy…
…seriously.
I undertook a Triathlon in the UK, in August, for my company. I’m doing the swim leg of a relay team – with my coworkers Denise and Katie. Swimming is great, so I don’t feel so bad. But, the distance is an Olympic distance! I have to swim 1.5k. Yeeks!! Anyway, I signed up for that, and now have to raise money – so anyone who wants to donate, that’d be lovely…
Over the weekend, my two “sisters” here (Britt and Becci) convinced me to undertake another triathlon. Still doing the swim leg of a relay, still with the same teammates – b/c they both agreed to it! So, in October, I’m doing another one… this is shorter, though – I only have to swim .75k. Still – INSANE!!
But, I have to admit, with all this crazy exercise I’ve been doing, I feel better than I have in a long, long time. What with all the church meetings I have, it’s been a VERY good way to blow off steam.
Sincerely, Crazy Noelle
F&E is in the news!!

A very quiet British invasion
Tesco ambitiously lays the groundwork here for a different type of grocery store, Los Angeles Times, June 6, 2007
By Jerry Hirsch
With little fanfare so far, Tesco, Britain’s largest retailer, is spending as much as $2 billion to launch Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market, starting in the Southland, Las Vegas and Phoenix. Tesco, with more than $80 billion in annual sales, already operates in 13 countries and has about 370,000 employees.
