Took da chimpz to the town pool this evening and Mojo somehow decided that this would be the evening to show an actual interest in swimming. Real swimming -- not the paddling around and holding the edge stuff he's donw throughout all his years of lessons. There he went, swimming the full width of the pool without assistance.

Then he revealed his ulterior motive (because with Mojo, there's always an ulterior motive): he wanted to join Cookie in jumping off the diving board. He got out there to the end of the board a couple of times and chickened out. Even Alane was unsure if he would panic in the deep water and urged me to stop him. My take on it was "If he's feeling adventurous, don't get in his way."

So finally he took the dive. And he loved it. There they went: Mojo and Cookie jumping off the board, swimming to the side, climbing out and diving in again. They had a blast.

And now we're back at Berea-Rose and I've found the Met game on ESPN. Sweet. Score is tied at 1, but the Mets have a runner at first with nobody out in the 7th. Maybe it'll turn into something.
