Notes

Thesse are the first pair of goggles that I had owned in years. Since undergoing top surgery in early 2015 I have started to swim again. It's magical to fully savor the sensations of the water on my bare chest as I dive and swim underwater in the swimming pool and the sea. [Formatting Note: 2nd 's' of 'Thesse' is fainter, as though part of a draft spelling]
