I swim and read at the same time! It just takes a little practice. LOL! I can also cook and read, watch TV and read, and read by campfire or candle. The one thing I've found I can't do is drive and read (though I can usually get at least a half page done at a red light, LOL).
You need some of these:
Waterproof books.
I loved reading your answers to these questions, by the way.
Kelli, you are such a talented rockstar. I can't even read in the bathtub without dropping the book in the water - just ask the Free Libary of Philadelphia!
Sarcasmo - I LOVE waterproof books. That's SO SMART! Say, did you seen the miniture book story on CBS Sunday Morning? Me needs tiny, waterproof books and lots of 'em immediately!
You're the best. Looking forward to meeting you and SK some day.
Wow- Portland Oregon is where you'd most like to live in the summers? How can I help make that happen?
