I feel I know many of you frequent forum contributors even though I've never actually laid eyes upon you; along these lines, I'm wondering if maybe we could arrange a Long Course Nationals get-together, perhaps raise a cup of grog so that when we correspond via this forum in the future, we'll actually be able to put a face to the words we are reading (and which I personally have found so helpful about all things swimming).
I signed up for the meet via the online registration process, incredibly easy, by the way; unless something unforeseen occurs between now and August 15th, I plan to be in Cleveland along with some of my teammates from Sewickley, PA (we'll be swimming for Allegheny Mountain Associations Masters). Anyhow, if anyone out there is up for it, perhaps we could decide upon a rendezvous spot poolside, then go out for a beer when the day's events are over.
Hope to meet some of you guys.

The quote actually is:
'Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres'
The "all" was left out. I too got subjected to this at school - seems to be a worldwide punishment to have to do Caesar's "De Bello Gallico". BTW, Vercingetorix was a Gaul who took a beating in what I believe is now Bourges in France (not Wales, for sure)
Not my favourite beer drinking topic......
