Games for boys and girls, varsity and junior-varsity. + + + 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.
