Personally G, I vote for swim.
I mean look at the poor salmon, all that swiming up stream only to get eaten or die. How different are we? I guess that depends on perspective. In one sense, NO ONE gets out alive (Jim Morrison). In another, depending upon your non-secular beliefs, this life is but a dress rehearsal. I don't know, Greg. If i told you you could be rich half your life but poor the other half, but you couldn't chose when, would the days of plenty seem fleeting and the days of nothing seem eternally long? Would you say "I'd rather be poor the whole time, because then I'd know what to expect." ? I would say "yes" to that question at times (and have). Afterall, a known evil is better than an unknown evil, right? That's why it took me 24 years of worrying about a neurological disorder before I finally said "enough's enough!" and went to get the MRI. Found out I was OK. All that time lost in worry, for what? So Greg, I will say swim, and enjoy the view, even if it's up stream.
