Right now, I am not on an airplane. As I write, I should be getting ready to land in Chicago, preparing to board my second flight and head to Portland, Oregon for the Portland Bridge Swim.

Yes, I am basking in the afterglow. 3 years after I initially signed up for it, Stage 4 of the 8 Bridges Hudson River Swim has been completed! I swam from the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge to the Bear Mountain Bridge in the Hudson River. When I signed up for Stage 4 in 2013, I had yet … Continue reading
