Evanston, September 8

Today was cloudy and pleasantly cool with a moderate northeast breeze. Since I will be swimming Big Shoulders Saturday I merely wanted a short swim to stretch out, so back to Evanston. The water was 72 with 2 foot waves so it was 10 minutes out against the waves and then back more quickly. It would have been totally uneventful except that while we were still at the car a woman named Mary that Mike used to swim in the Lake with 20 years ago jogged by. Mike had related many stories about swimming with her to me so meeting her in person was actually interesting.
