A quick question for the knowledgeable readers out there. This NYT magazine called Play recently contacted me about writing a piece for a section they call "Master Class" -- they want me to go someplace warm and get some swimming instruction of some sort.
I know that USMS used to have some kind of program where masters swimmers could apply to go out to Colorado Springs for intensive coaching, stroke analysis in the ICAR flume, etc. Is this still going on, do any of you know, and would it be possible to just do a "lite" version of this (a day or two; bypass the application process; not actually need to be an elite swimmer; etc.)
The other possibilities would be one of Terry's TI camps (though, God help me, front quadrant swimming really hurts my shoulders, and I feel this dog is just too old to learn that particular new trick).
Or--and this might be my favorite of all--didn't Gary Hall, Jr. start some sort of Sprint Club training camp down in Key West or the Bahamas or some similar place that would prove the perfect antidote to Pittsburgh this time of the year, especially if I don't have to pay for it?
Please let me know the details of any such possibiities--the editor did specify he'd prefer me to go someplace "warm and outdoors-y." Which makes two of us.

You're right Matt. This one was much more appropriate:
"So would it be safe to say that an evening was spent together? Not that there is anything wrong with that ... just curious."
You do know that this was in response to somebody, Rich I believe, commenting about seeing your eyes as the sun rose, etc.? I think if you would look at the posts I was responding to you would see that my line of questioning was actually quite valid and not at all inappropriate, even though I presented it entirely in jest.
IMHO, a request for some bossy women to punish him (clearly a case of sexual innuendo) does not even compare to the comment of mine that you have pasted above. My comment seems closer to a cross examination while Jim's sounds like something from a Ron Jeremy movie.
Note: I am only familiar with Ron Jeremy because he was a guest on the Ronn Owens Program/KGO 810 this week. :eek:
