chocolate fish, human swimming

an amusing article in the new york times on the intricacies of molding chocolate for easter. the writer discovers that it's not really as easy as jacques torres makes it look!

but at least the author meets (log your own bad selves in: use bccy1 in both fields) the important category of so-called decorators or confectioners chocolate.

and since swimming's the theme, we can't overlook olympic athlete ian thorpe, an australian who's determined to take a world championship prize. again. to help him do so, he's added yoga to his training routine.

the article quotes the australian team's coach: "it's very easy when you're at that level to sit back and, the next thing you know, the rest of the world is passing you by. they're trying to do things to take his swimming to a new level."

ok, swimfans. i guess we'll see if yoga takes thorpe over the top at the world contest in barcelona in july. . . .
