Just Say Polo or Month-End Review, August

Decided to go to the pool after dinner instead of after lunch so I wouldn't have to worry about eating too late. It turned out to be a good decision. There was sun but not too much over the pool which I shared with one adult and six kids. The water? Divine.

Just say Polo, one of the other kids told a Marco Polo newbie.

I did the backstroke. The elementary backstroke. The front crawl. I floated. I watched a hawk eat dinner and I watched the sun set.


The kids left. I sang to myself and reluctantly hoisted myself out of the pool.

As I walked toward Hazira's to return her key, I saw lightning animate the sky. Wished Hazira had been at home so that I could have scored watermelon.

Popped in my Music to Quiet the Mind CD and thought of Mark Twain. It is lightning that does the work...
