To Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before

Can't you just hear the theme from Star Trek playing in your mind?

In my mind's eye, I see my 8 year old self teetering on the edge of the high diving board the summer I almost learned to swim ... the summer my teacher called me "Marga, Marga, Margot!"

Yes, I did make that exhilarating jump off the high dive. Feet first, I'm pretty sure. Managed to not land on the other swimmers in the deep end. But I may have done a belly flop.

I'm still not one to walk boldly through the obstacles set before me. Now and then, though, I do manage to sidle through.

That bold step? I'm deciding tonight to try it a bit more often.
