People who know me, are you in for a shock: I went to a pool today! I put on a lot of sunblock, found my bathing suit (which hasn't been worn since 2004), and headed out to a pool not far from the house. It was like a public pool, but with a dive bar. I'd never been. Obvs, if I haven't even worn a bathing suit in six years.

It took some pleading from my friends to get me out of the house. But I ended up having a blast. I'm glad they convinced me to go. Cheap beer. Shaded tables. 12-foot deep pool.

I'd forgotten how much I love the pool.
