Recovery...from training at least...

Normally I'd do a swim today but I've decided to only do two swims a week. It seems that when I do two versus three a week, I get faster. Last night was another late one. Alice and I spent pretty much from 2 pm to 2 am at the Wynn Hotel. It is my favorite place to go. For the past three years I've come every year and sat at the same bar in the same chair and have gotten to know Darby the bar tender well. This time I got a picture with him. I look forward to seeing him every year. Darby and the other bartender Mike are absolutely amazing. The slowest they took to get me a beer after I finished is 60 seconds and the fastest was 3 seconds and that was when I hid the empty behind a menu and they still knew I needed a beer, they are pros. You should see them scanning a busy bar that is three people deep and everyone has a drink in their hand. No waiting for anybody.

The greatest thing about the Wynn is the people watching and meeting. It is better than any Las Vegas show. We just sit there and people come and people go and some you talk to and others you watch and try to figure out. At one point a really weird young person came and sat beside me, he was all lies and I was catching him lying in a gentle way. I guess I had him on the hot seat a couple of times. At one point he ask me if I was a psychiatrist. Darby, Mike, Alice said the guy had emptiness in his eyes, they figured he was a Jeffery Daumler. One other couple even left the bar when he showed up. At the end of the conversation I diffused him and even bought him a beer and then he left. Mike suggested that Alice and I leave because he may come back and they think he was nuts. I guess if Darby and Mike, who have seen it all, figure this guy was dangerous, then he probably was. I didn't have any problem or fear talking to him. I actually don't mind dealing with psychotic people, frankly I enjoy it. We also met Lani and Johnny from Detroit, heard their story and told them to get married already. It was another great night.
