Ok, if this were as the swimming world turns the soap opera we are becoming what roles would we all play? (It's been a long day at work and I am so ready for it to be Friday!) I'll get the ball rolling ... Dima and his new girl take on the Luke and Laura role of the 80's (never saw it, but did hear about it) Ande, is the wise cop or wise pub owner that is always giving everyone advice. Kyra, is the sweet and innocent girl that everyone adores. Kari and I apparently are the town drunks! :)

    Christ! Both events ... (I swam both at state two weeks ago ...) Good for you though! I'm psyched for the slumber party though! Good times! Also, Karen do you have email? I'd love to ask you some questions about teaching in California. Thanks! Ok ... back on topic ... Aquageek, the town billionaire, he's rightous, he's arrogant, (we love you geek), and he's working his way through all the women in town ... he's Kari and my father!

    Wow, I missed a couple of hours and you guys wrote several seasons worth of a soap opera! I can see it now. The next time I'm in a grocery store checkout, you will all be on the cover of Soap Opera Digest in swim wear! Except for Aquageek who will be in a clown suit and that other guy in a moose fur coat!

    He's wearing a speedo and looks good in it! They are hard to pull off, but I have seen a few guys that do it well ... OH! The pool boy should be Ian Thorpe ... God bless that accent!

    So I've been thinking.. and I think I've got it. Karen has two illegitimate children, with Aquageek....Kari and Heather. Kari turns out to be this stunning beauty with a drug problem but no one cares because she is loaded. She falls in love with the super hunk, Tom, but is secretly having an affair with the pool boy. Swimmy, Kari's maid, is in love with Tom and will do anything to have him, but is actually dating the pool boy. One day Kari tell's Tom that she is going on a business trip, but actually goes to Hawaii with the pool boy. Swimmy finds out about this, and the affair,(just because she doesn't want him doesn't mean that any one can have him) so she rigs Kari's scuba equipment to malfunction thus killing her....or so we think. Then when Kari is dead, Swimmy dumps the pool boy (who then goes for my character, more on that later*), and seduces Tom. BUT all this while, Tom has been secretly in love with Heather, Kari's twin sister. Tom does eventually get seduced by Swimmy but never forget's his love for Heather. Then when Swimmy leaves town to be a movie star, Heather movies in and takes Tom. Then all seems to be happy, when one day who should show up but Kari! And of course through all of this, there is the mixed plot of Karen being an alien, but all we know is that she used to be a superstar (field of your choice), and now is so stuck in the past she can barely function, who is in love with Ande, who is supposedly this world class swimmer, but can't swim and is really a woman. :D *I vote the pool boy be Phelps.:p

    Kyra, I was answering the phone reading this and started laughing when I read the word alien ... oh Lord, I am going to be fired! (not really) This is awesome! Fabulous job Kyra! I am having an affair with my coach (Thorpe). Phelps can be the pool boy! That'd be hysterical!
