funny the eclipse came up. The two gals (one my Wife, the other I have said "yes, dear" to and referred to her
as my "second wife"... they started a business of flipping houses. Our current giant project involved a swimming pool.
Really run down, let go, etc, not used for 5 years? ...it needed a new liner, heater, pump....etc. Cost 14000 to
refurbish the pool, and maybe 12,000 to have it dug up, taken apart and filled in.
So, it's a "new pool". Yesterday, we were talking, with her two sisters, we all had a work day. They were teasing us,
because they still remember that on our honeymoom, I arranged for us to have a beautiful townhouse
in the mtns, with a private, exclusive restaurant at the bottom of the hill.... complete with a beautiful
swimming pool in our room.
One of em says "If you two had a pool, you two would be skinnydipping every Browns game at night on your big screen
tv" like we all know you two did on your honeymoon...
I said "that would be awesome, that's why I was wanting to be working on the house and yard during the
eclipse. So they turn and look at me, one says "oh, this should be good...so...why is that?"
I said because it was one of the rare times we could jump in the pool in the middle of the day,
and it would be dark...we could go skinnydipping....."
So, the other informed me that it only lasts two minutes, and we're all retired, and we aren't that fast .
And I got fussed at because one of em was eating a powdered donut, and choked while laughing, and I had to go
back to work.
Well, I think I could make that minute of swimming and be back to work the next minute. Like the song says,
"I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm good once, as I ever was"
