It's a small internet world.  David Donaghue of DLA Piper who hosts Blawg Review # 173 at the Chicago IP Litigation Blog shares not only the insane continuing desire to host Blawg Reviews with me, but also a LexBlog platform and  a history of high school swimming competitions -- me back and free -- he fly and IM (my fly looks more like a caterpillar; I bow deeply to anyone who competes in the fly and in the IM that requires fly skill). 

My 'net connections also create two degrees of separation between me and an Olympic medalist.  Pictured here is New Zealand meditator Geoff Sharp's nephew sporting a bronze rowing medal for New Zealand, surrounded by his cousins, three of whom are Geoff's bright, talented and good looking children.

Don't you love the internet?  If so, swim on over to Blawg Review # 173 for some of the best posts of last week in the legal blogosphere.
