 Hello, Dahlings. It was another successful Grunion Run to Vegas, complete with blue and yellow pompoms as part of our Grunion Love regalia.There were several new faces, and it was wonderful to see some returning swimmers back on the starting blocks. As usual the meet started late, but by the third event we had 6 lanes of Grunion relays (OK we let LV have one lane), and everyone was pumped and on a roll. Many thanks to Grunion friends and "widows" for the cheering section, and also many thanks to Liz B's daughter Deloris, and Kevin for volunteering to time. Extra kisses to Steve I., for running the computers the entire meet. Michael D. was running around like a paparazzo with his humongous camera. The photos are already posted on the new Grunion website gallery. When the meet was finally over, everyone (including moi) were looking forward to real food and something more flammable to drink than Gatorade. The Madame's gossip network doesn't have any titillating tidbits to report other than we are apparently much better swimmers than gamblers. Viva Las Vegas! If you've got an opinion or suggestions for other topics, or any dirt or gossip you wish me to reveal, please send them to the editor, Raul Reis, and address them to Madame Aqua. Cheers, Dahlings! |
