Stuff for Saturday Morning

The newest exercise "craze" (that's a little strong, but so be it): open-water swimming. My wife will vouch for it. When we vacation up north, she loves to swim in Lake Huron (assuming the water is smooth, of course). She says it's an entirely different feeling that swimming in a pool. The link above touches on my wife's experience.
