Yeah... Maryse told you to put the cover back on the pool again and you just didn't listen, did you?
Cheryl said…
That's what she said.
Laughing Mom said…
You sure dove right into this challenge.
meleahrebeccah said…
probably time to close the pool, yo!

We left the cover off to dry out before we put it away for the winter. And our pump bought the biscuit. We'll deal with that expense next spring.
nonamedufus said…
Actually, right about now I'm just floating along.
nonamedufus said…
We closed it this week as a matter of fact.
nonamedufus said…
Actually my wife made the call. And the guys came to close the pool.
Ziva said…
Okay, before I comment on the photo, try not to drown, okay? I'd miss you terribly.


Now, the photo. I really, really like it. I love the little leaves floating around, and I love how we can see your shadow on one side, and the sun glinting off the water. It's a lovely photo.

Please be careful and don't drown in the pool - you wouldn't want the EMTs to show up and see all those leaves floating around.
nonamedufus said…
I wondered if anyone would pick up on my shadow. That's the morning sun behind me.
nonamedufus said…
Yeah, Mrs D really fell behind in her chores here.

Everybody into the pyool!
MalisaHargrove said…
Ah, ha! A chore you have ignored!
MalisaHargrove said…
Face it, Ziva is doing the breast stroke just to stay afloat. The rest of us are doing a less graceful dog paddle.

nonamedufus said…
Too cold now. Turned off the heater a month ago.
nonamedufus said…
I'm trying to visualize this.
nonamedufus said…
Good to know. Now I know who to call.
Coco said…
Did you do it, meaning leaves, for today? It's beautiful if it naturally be that way. Nice photo!
Nonamedufus said…
Oh no I didn't do it. Our pool is surrounded by trees. the pine needles aren't good for the filter though.
Jamie Baker said…
Given where you live, I'll bet that water is getting CHILLY.
Ahhhh you have a solar cover!!!!! But Jamie might be right... looks can be deceiving !!

Now I've got that Mrs. Robinson song stuck in my head.
nonamedufus said…
We may have closed the pool too soon. Air temp this weekend expected to be balmy.
nonamedufus said…
We actually gave up swimming when the air temp started to dip. We shut down the heater then to save money.
nonamedufus said…
One word, Mike: "plastics".

My Back Pages - October

Well, folks, I read seven (count 'em) seven books in October. One I didn't finish but even at that I hit the magic number 50 I estimated for myself by the end of the year. The six books I successfully waded through were, firstly, What Happened, Hillary Clinton's book on her bid for the Presidency. I''m a bit of a political junkie so I get off on this stuff but still it kinda struck me as one long whine over losing. Next up was the excellent Canyon of Dreams: The Magic and Music of Laurel Canyon. Laurel Canyon was the fabled area outside of Los Angeles where many musicians and artists lived. Known as a 60s enclave, the book takes a look at just who lived there over the last 80 years. A fascinating read. Next up was Lightfoot, a biography of Canadian folk singer Gordon Lightfoot. He may have been responsible for some iconic folk songs but he was also quite the womanizer and boozer. Enough said. Then I read Dan Brown's new tome Origin, the fifth ...

The Polka Dot Door

A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born.  That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network.  And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.  But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door.  And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran.  The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993.  I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share.  The formula was pretty simple.  A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains.  The show opened as follows... Imagination Day!  Oh boy! ...
