Just a little advance notice.

It is coming.

Soon.

Stay tuned.

It will be upon us, as early as tomorrow.

Or...

the day after tomorrow.

Well, whatever "it" finally turns out to be, Mr Thornton will be able to claim any important news item that falls within the window to be "it" and his prognostication will be confirmed! :bliss:

I would think that It would make a good coach. But since It is evil, It might be Geek's nightmare: a noodler.
They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!

In Granby, CO, it's already here. Jim should see it in a couple of days, given about a 30mph tail wind.

Is "it" swimming related?

Otherwise "it" might not last very long in this forum...

It is extremely swimming related. It will tell you more about swimming's odd relationship to health and glory than you can believe.

It is not Pennywise the Dancing Clown.

It is not the Imp or the Walkin Dude.

It is coming very soon, and it is well worth the wait for...it.

This reminds me of the PR roll out of the Segway. As it turned out, IT was a one-person vehicle only owned by airport police departments and rented by dorks who are visiting the beach ...

Leslie The Fortress Livingston, of all people on earth, should be most patient here.

Leslie, it is nigh.

A couple things to consider:

1. happiness is contagious, and it comes from your friends, and your friends' friends. at various social hubs, there exist superbly connected happiness-generating individuals. To know these people is to become happier through basked and reflected happiness. The recent study showing this is synopsized:

http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2008/12/05/new_reason_to_be_happy_it_may_go_a_long_way/

2. there exists no more central happiness-generating social hub in the world of USMS discussions than the magnificent Leslie "The Fortress" Livingston, whom we all have come to know, in person or through her postings

3. It will make you happy, unless you have a heart of total stone, in which case it will make you a little bit more positively neutral.

4. It is coming. It is swimming related. It is being a little hyped here, I'll admit, but it will not disappoint, I am pretty sure. Especially if you don't have ridiculously high standards. Or, well, standards.

5. It will be here soon.

Hopefully, tomorrow.

Today is yesterday's tomorrow, and I am disappointed that someone didn't wake up earlier and post IT.

Sorry, just woke up. The combination of Sonata and Nyquil really works wonders on A) a cold and B) consciousness.

I have spoken with the production company, and all seems on target for a release later today. Of course, there are always potential problems with this kind of thing.

But when it comes to it, please know that no one is more excited about the imminence of its posting than I am, and I am working as feverishly as a human being can work with a Nyquil hangover can work to make it a reality very soon this very day!
