One of the things I have been long embarrassed and ashamed about was that I couldn’t swim. 

I don’t think I’m afraid of the water as so much as I don’t know how to effectively move about it. 

It’s one of those things that seems so natural to those who can, and so awkward and downright seemingly impossible to those of us who cannot.  Well, as a result of the generosity of a friend, I believe by Christmas I will stroke my way from the ranks of the “have nots (knowing how to swim).

And best of all, I plan to take you along with me on the journey.  Will I make it, or will my ambition just sink like a ton of goggles?  Time will only tell.

Before I get started, I have a question for you: Do you have any tips or suggestions to make my experience as favorable and successful as possible?

Quick, stock up on that water!

Who’s up for a road trip to Stop & Shop?

No, a hurricane isn’t about to swing up the Eastern Seaboard.  So you could leave the hammer, nails and plywood in the garage.  And don’t worry about that generator.

Rather, a bunch of new laws are about to take effect on Thursday.

Water bottles will now be eligible for the same nickel-deposit that have targeted soda buyers for the past 31 years, the Connecticut Post reported.

A state lawmaker representing Milford said he hopes the new law will give people a reason to redeem their discarded water bottles.
