First Dip


Really now, how COLD could that nice condo pool be, with several days of Mazatlan Sol beating down on it? Certainly no colder than The Lake in July! The time had come to test the waters . . . Steeling myself, I took a brave leap without doing a "toe test". After a few gasps and some frenzied frog kicking and stroking, the frigid water became "refreshing". Neighbors cheered me on from the comfort of their decks as I completed several circuits around the pool perimeter. My reward after completing my "polar bear swim" was a warm shower and a cup of hot cocoa laced with a touch of brandy.
