Read this: Grayson, by Lynne Cox

OK, so losing 5 lbs on the way to vacation totally makes it ok to gain 5 on the way back, right?! That's what I say, it all comes out in the wash. Anyway, I picked up some free books at a church garage sale a few weeks ago and got around to reading one today, Grayson, by Lynne Cox. Borrow it from me, or the library, or get it here for about five bucks, but read it. Lynne swam the English Channel at 15 and as part of her continued training as a swimmer, she regularly swam off the coast of California. The book is about her 3 and a half hour ordeal, of sorts, swimming with a baby gray whale that was separated from his mother, and found Lynne in the meantime. I could not put it down.
