Day 232
It’s another scorcher with
predicted temperatures hovering above the 90s. The only place to be in the blistering heat is our city
pool. The boys and I slip on our suits,
grab some towels and go.
Through the pool’s front doors,
they race directly towards the water.
I see their demeanor change as soon as their feet splash into the cool,
clear water. The heat makes them
cranky. Which makes me
cranky. It’s not a great
combination.
Settling into a white Adirondack
chair, a friend and I visit while our kids play in the water. A little girl dashes by and tosses her
damp towel in a heap near my feet.
I pick up the towel, shake it
and hand it to dry on the back of an adjacent chair. No matter how hot, it’s still nice to have a dry towel when
you need one.
