Meanwhile, back in the pool…
I am doing research on web services infrastructure for a potential client today. Things are slower than last week, but that’s fine with me. I am going to spend some time with friends and people I care about.
Mark Pilgrim remembers a friend he couldn’t save when his own drug days ended.
There is always something to feel guilty about after friendships like that. But no one is strong enough to help someone who doesn’t want to change - and Mark had to save himself.

Went swimming at Eriksdalsbadet, my home pool. I felt strong but out of wind, like some kind of ancient machine. Then I realized: last week I was doing 25 metre intervals. Now I was trying for the same speed in the 50m pool
Had dinner with an old friend, then she took me to see a fantastic movie: The princess & the warrior. Trust the Germans to make something for hardcore romantics: for two hours you believe not only in love but in fate. We were both crying afterwards.
