Pete, all of my agression is focused on swim, bike, run right now. Besides, the Singing Pig Squad from the U.K. is so entertaining that I would hate to discourage them by being agressive. These guys are the "Saturday Night Live" of tech diving. On the other hand, the training agencies still piss me off to no end with what they are institutionalizing, but the best way to counter them is by helping to provide a better alternative. By the way , my shrink says I am not nuts, no matter how much I argue with him to the contrary. Pete Mesley wrote: > > Seems like the therapist has tought G to vent all that aggression .
