In the swim
Remember Mark Spitz? Today is the anniversary of his 7th gold medal swimming victory, in 1972. It's pretty much inconceivable that it's been thirty-five years since then because, among other things, I cannot possibly have lived thirty-five years since it happened. I suppose most of the people I might mention it to, today, were not even alive at the time or were still crawling. I wonder what Spitz himself is up to, being in his fifties now as I suppose he must be. Anyway, all that nonsense to the contrary notwithstanding, we who DO remember it can have pleasant memories today and wish him well.
