Welcome back!

The power of words is strong indeed. Welcome back.

Very cold indeed! I'm getting cold just imagining that! Good luck to you! I'm not very musical myself, but I'm always impressed by people who are.

Thank you! I've been thinking about it for a while, and I'm glad I finally did it (that goes for both posting here and for acquiring the Chinese book)! If you're interested in finding more books, I'd like to suggest another option to explore beyond your local library. Based on your profile info, you're eligible for a library card from the Free Library of Philadelphia! They have a large ebook collection, including materials in other languages! I heard about it from an avid reader friend of mine last year, and I'm happy to spread the word!

Congratulations on your new goggles, and on finding your selkie skin!

Welcome back, and best of luck on your journey!

Nice to meet you! Congratulations on turning a corner in your recovery. That's amazing. Wild swimming sounds like a great adventure! Do you swim in the ocean? Mandolin sounds very cool!

The day has come! I'm finally emerging from the shadows to interact with this community. Hi everybody! I'm a runner, a lifter, and a martial artist. I love fantasy and sci fi stories: reading, watching, playing. I study Mandarin Chinese--that's still very much a work in progress. I'm excited to have a place to talk about exercise, and hopefully other nerdy things, too. Current projects: -Working on my deadlift -Working on my pull ups -Working my way through a Chinese kids book I got from my library. See you around!
