Today I

• Rowed a straight 4 with Raoul, Bob, and C. Hamlin from CBC.  Beautiful sunrise, calm water.  I was in 2, and called the workout. Some pauses, some building 10s and 20s. A good time.
• I went with Kel to Johann's swim lesson.  He still cries so much, and it's so hard for me to watch him deal with having his face under water, but he can right himself and he can float.  I don't know if he'd survive a pool encounter alone, but I know his odds are better now.  Still, it's so hard on me to watch him struggle and be frightened that he can't get air or that he'll sink.
• Had a skype chat with Steve.  He told me about his album he's written, and his 4 horsemen song.  I told him about the tough time I'm having right now. He may come out here in April.  I told him I wish we were all in touch more, and told him about the idea that, when I ask myself at the end of the day, whether, if this day were selected for me to be the one day I re-live forever, what would I regret about it? My answer comes back often that I didn't communicate with my family. It's a big hole, and a potential source of much regret.  I hope we talk more. I should find a way to make that happen.
