What comprimises have you made?

What's funny is I trained with Jordan (featured in the article) on Thursday July 5th, 2007 at Asphalt Green in NYC, he gave me a ride back by my hotel which was pretty close to his office. Very nice guy.
I know there are plenty of married swimming couples in Masters (the Roddins, the Santoses), and as one of those married swimming couples I have to say it's great having a spouse who is also a swimmer.
Nothing needs to be said. Both of us know pool time is important -- me for competition, him for sanity and fitness.
