This amusing paragraph was brought to my attention. It is about one of my live interviews on television when I was back home:

... [I] am sick of having to share God's time with the eternally annoying and distracting tv mobile on the stuffy bus 10 every morning. If i am not turned off by the silly questions that the hosts of 'primetime morning' like to ask (the cake goes to Suzanne Jung, who of all things to ask PJ Thum , the channel swimmer, as the opening question, asked, "so 35km, how many swimming pool lengths is that?" *slaps forehead* the next thirty seconds thus featured our heroic first-ever channel swimmer reduced to doing math in his head on live television, in order to answer that pointless question...) ...

I was so jetlagged and exhausted that morning that when they asked me that question I nearly panicked. If they had asked me to add 1 and 1, I would've spent just as long trying to figure it out. Thankfully, I came up with the right answer, but still, it was a scary moment. I guess they wanted to try to help people relate to what I did, but still... it was nerve-wracking. I didn't expect it.
