What a pool mess today. Went to FFC Lincoln Park and they now hold a class in the pool that takes all lanes from 6:30am - 8:30am on Friday's WTF. Then I went to FFC Gold Coast and the pool was 8000 degrees. At least I got it done.

Was hot out there. Still getting used to the heat. Did some walking, some running and some walking.

It is NATO protesting time, working from home today and Monday.   I love how half the protesters are out there bitching about the banks and capitalism while staying in some of the largest hotel chains in the world, after arriving here on airplanes.  

Then they tweet about it and post on Facebook (IPO'd today for $16b) using their Apple iPhones (one of richest companies in the world).  What a bunch of f'ing douche bags.
