SUPER WEEK......RYAN NESTOR,PATRIOTS....AND A FORUM...

This is a super week on tap.......We have Super Bowl Week with all the hype......We have Friday Forum on tap for Friday on this blog......and  more than anything....friend Ryan Nestor will be getting the feeling of  "Freedom " after years of involuntary servitude.He and his family have endured...while showing grace
and poise under very trying circumstances.Faith and Hope always prevail over  the temporal which  ends at the proper time.......I have the faith  that Ryan will find his way....and make people happy and proud.

Go for it Ryan......You have a whole life in front of you.......It may take a while......but you know it is a marathon not a dash......

SOMETHING NEW....SOMETHING FOR YOU...BRENDA LEWIN...ON FRIDAYS...

Starting with next week and for the foreseeable future.................. Friday's on this site will be
exciting, knowledgeable and in some cases life changing.....It will be geared toward people that workout.....people that want to workout.....people that eat...... people that want to eat better
and in general just want to feel  normal and happy.

You get the idea........My family, friends and acquaintance's realize that I have attempted to "stay in shape"
my entire life and that during the last decade I have ran, swam, biked and raced with Brenda Lewin of Swampscott. During that time we have formulated ideas and theories about "health ,
flexibility and cardio strength".......
and we will be sharing them with you......in the hope that you will feel unbelievable,
live better and have more enthusiasm and "get up and go" than you thought possible.

Big Goals.......but that is the idea.......Do you get it......and do you want it.

ENGLISH CHANNEL.....WHO IS KIM GARBARINO ?

I had a thought on Kim in the year 2010;

HARVEY'S THOUGHTS

Action speaks louder than words in the manifestations from thoughts.Seek the truth.

BOSTON LIGHT......KIM GARBARINO...SWIM RECORD

Kim Garbarino (Thought's 9/9/2009 ) took a day off from work as a Probation Officer at Lynn District Court on Tuesday, July 27, 2010......so what did he do ?......How about doing something that only three people have done since 1897.............

Last year the 52 year old entered the famous Boston Light Swim((1907) from Boston Light to Carson Beach, South Boston which is eight miles.He finished it in 4 : 25: 18 in 12th place.This race is called the "Old Grand Daddy " of Open Swim Racing..........He has continued his training in "epic style " as related previously........and now he has gone on to another level...........

Two days ago he put on his speedo, Speedo hat,and goggles and stepped off the Boston Light rocks under the watchful "eye"of a Coast Guard serviceman and started a swim to Carson Beach.He got to the Beach after 8 miles and turned around and swam back to Boston Light.He started at 8:10 am and finished at 4:19pm.........16 miles in 8 hrs, 9 min...........

It was recorded by video and the feat is being reviewed by Greg O'Connell the Director and Historian of the Boston Light Swimming records.........This 16 mile swim is referred to as a "Double Cross Swim ". It appears that only three people have done this prior to Kim since 1897.....and they went from Carson Beach and back....while He is the only one known to go from the Light and back.....The last recorded " Double Cross was 40 years ago in 1969........

The great thing about Thought's is that I am given the opportunity to write about stories

that are "uplifting" and show us "mere humans" what we are capable of with desire, determination,and a will which sometimes seems to come from "PLACES UNKNOWN TO US".

Thanks Kim......for reminding us that we all can reach almost " unattainable goals " if we want it.............

ENGLISH CHANNEL .......CONTINUED....

I have been reviewing the rules for this "MOUNT EVEREST FEAT " for swimmers;

Take a look..........

Obtain a "standard swim costume" for your attempt. Basically, you cannot have a swimsuit that covers your arms or legs, provides buoyancy or gives you thermal protection.

3

Experiment with different ways to get the food and drink you will need during your swim. Since you are forbidden to have any physical contact with another person during your swim, you will have to be creative in thinking up ways to get your nourishment. Other swimmers have used squeeze bottles and bags passed to them with a pole, strung along on a string to them, or even passing larger-than-normal-sized cups to avoid personal contact with a swimmer.

ENGLISH CHANNEL SWIM......IT IS GOING TO BE PERSONAL......

I am going to be a member of a support team to assist Kim Garbarino swim the 21 mile channel while dodging commercial ships,boats,and dealing with currents and weather.The rules are specific and among things you cannot touch him,but you are able to assist.I will be reporting periodically concerning the preparation for this endeavor.....

The actual swim will be the second week of August,2012....stay tuned...

WHAT ABOUT FEAR.........?

A thought to contemplate today......that I received from  a source called "mustard seed";

January 13, 2012

There is a difference between discretion and fear.  There is a difference between prudence and fear.  There is a difference between discernment and fear.  Fear is not a virtue.

I'M BACK........WILL ANYONE NOTICE......

I have been told it's been seven months.I last mentioned the Bruins and they are probably better than last year's team....Romney has won Iowa,will win New Hampshire tonight and who knows maybe South Carolina and Florida in the coming weeks.....How about Tebow.......He is not close to Brady.....but he is a athletic guy that should have a place in the NFL.....Some coach will use his imagination and make him a great player.....maybe Fox his present Coach.

How about the statistics this week concerning Tim.....He wears 3:16 under his eyes.....and last Sunday throws for 316 yards, averages 31.6 yards per pass and the TV Rating for the game was 31.6

I believe everything  happens for a reason.......but I cannot give you answer for it.....except maybe God
is telling you Saturday Night's game score is going to be 31-6.I do not believe the winner was announced however.
I will be back again.
