I ordered Swim Team 1&2 directly from Posteverything.com, and got the CDs in record time. I highly recommend ordering direct from the posteverything.com website, if possible. And, for the record, I live in Seattle.

I've never met Graeme but I'm sure his character is very like his pen - -occasionally spiky & I've noticed he sometimes needs to jab you with it.I'm not condoning this but it is pretty easy to write back & tell him to cool it.This is a great list.I read everything & occasionally stick my oar in too.
