		<description><![CDATA[Ariel, the Little Mermaid, would probably win every Olympic gold medal in swimming. She&#8217;d blow Michael Phelps out of the water. Oh, wait, that tail might disqualify her from competition.
My cousin snorkeled for the first time in his life this year. He loved it in the shallow waters of the beach. So he decided to [...]]]></description>

Yes, I sing my own variation of &#8220;99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall&#8221; while I do yard work. Our large lawn looks like the backdrop of a post-apocalyptic Mad Max movie.

(Okay, I might be telling a fib about Carnegie Hall: it&#8217;s my Walter Mitty dream.)

 Kiefer Sutherland&#8217;s TV hit, 24, is truly whacked&#8211; as in whack everyone in the head. I&#8217;ve never seen so many people knocked out in any show. It&#8217;s so medically unrealistic: they&#8217;re all clearly suffering concussions, yet they function at a high level when they regain consciousness. But then again, Jack Bauer has died twice [...]]]></description>

&#8220;Wow, I&#8217;m doing great! I might break par.&#8221;

There was a huge freezer in the basement, and I thought about all the shows and movies where people hide a dead body in the freezer. So as a joke I opened it up, ready to pretend [...]]]></description>

 When I was a child in New York City, my parents actually belonged to a country club. I remember these ladies with B-52 beehive hairdos in their swimsuits lying on the pool chairs. It was from these ladies that I learned the sidestroke.
