Deep Sea Swimming



It's been a busy month of company and writing. My father and Step Marsha were here for my birthday and took me on a grand tour of elite Los Angeles restaurants. While sitting at an ocean front window at The Chart House in Malibu, lifeguards on surfboards started paddling out. Two ambulances with flashing lights showed up on the beach. A coastguard boat came by. Then, finally, a helicopter flew in with a spotlight. And they all searched while the dusk poured in.

As we ate, the people at the restuarant explained that an hour earlier someone swam straight out into the ocean alone and disappeared. Well, three tables at The Chart House got very upset and reported this to their waiter, who called the police.

Forty minutes went by and we found out he had been found. It turns out he was a "deep sea swimmer". He swam way out past the big waves, down the coast, and back to shore. Then he asked someone what all the fuss down the shore was about, and learned that it was about him. So he called the police and the search was called off.

Anyway, it was a scary and exciting way to spend a meal eating lobster encrusted halibut.

And after a long month I'm back to shore too and ready to post.

Check out this new emerging artistic wonder-duo. It's Harvey Sid Fisher and friend. And he's recorded a plucky diddy for each and every zodiac sign, along with interpretive dance! Here's a song dedicated to my sign, the Leo.
