Last Swim

We got a lady splash in before the end of summer, school starts tomorrow. We are in Southern California so we will likely get user of the pool for another month or two.

Pool

I love our pool.

Summer Sunrise

This morning there were clouds in the sky, not normal for this part of Southern California. As I was getting into the car and looked to the east this is what I saw.

It was pretty amazing.

People That I Used To Know

In a seemingly previous life I worked in the music industry for a couple jazz labels and a marketing company.  One of the first artists I worked with was Tony Guerrero.  That was almost 25 years ago.  We became Facebook friends a while back and yesterday I saw that he was going to be playing in the park near home.

So I pulled myself out of the pool,  slipped on my sandals and headed to the park. I found a spot on the lawn and listened to him play some swing. I enjoyed it so much better than the happy jazz he used to play.

More Pool time

Spent more time in the pool today. It was a warm one.

I continue to be amazed at the boy and his confidence. He let me throw him in the deep end.

Relax

Spent a large portion of the day relaxing by the pool.

Swim Test

Every year we get the dogs in the pool and make sure they swim to the big step where it's easy to get out.

They don't really like the water much which is good, then they aren't going in just for fun. When we swim the dogs like being near us but the collie always pulls the basset hound away from the edge to make sure she is safe.
