I had a great time teaching swimming and water polo the past 5 weeks
with the Pgh Public Schools Summer Dreamers. Plus, we've been holding
open water polo play at Peabody HS. It has been great to have kids
from Shaler, NA and even a college player from CT join with our city
kids. (photos online). But we do need to recruiting additional players
for next week and beyond.

In political news, it is a crying shame that the lawyers from the old
parties are mounting campaigns in the courts to challenge the
challengers and knock them off the ballot. Libertarians, Greens,
Indies and even some Tea Party candidates trying to flex some power
with the people at the ballot box in the General Election come
November in PA. But, those with power don't want voters to have a
choice on election days. Ugh. Ballot access presents one of the
greatest hurdles we face in PA in terms of building a healthy, shared
political life.

Safe travels to everyone, everywhere. (Erik is in South Korea one more
week. Catherine and Grant go to Boston this weekend.)

Be safe with the start of the scholastic sports season too!
