My hubby got a blurb! I'm so chuffed. Um, vicariously.
They should film that story and show it every Christmas.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Can you rig up a mirror or something? I'm sure it IS boring looking at the seat.
There is a mirror, and there are usually toys, but she still finds it horribly dull.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
When I was a kid, we had one of those plastic pools that we'd put in the driveway when it got hot -- the Somerville Riviera!

Where in Mt. Washington? I did not know there was a fancy beach pool there.
For some reason, a blow up pool in your yard has me flashing on that house on the corner of Falls by the gas station that always seems to have some sort of seasonally themed blow up SOMETHING. It never fails to crack me up when they cram a giant inflatable frankenstein into their tiny little yard.

I don't think lisah's yard is quite long enough for a slip and slide without traffic hazards or head injuries.
Dominic's favorite pasttime when he was 1.5 (wow, forgot a summer) was smashing down the inflatable sides of the pool and watching the water cascade down the driveway. He emptied many a pool that summer.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Slip and slides are da bomb.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
MMMM!I've got plenty of the makings for more. Come on over! I can make lots of bacon and tomato sandwiches.
Well, except for that part.My new sandwich skills are not helping my attempts with avoiding this either.
In my hometown, there was a GINORMOUS rubber ducky in a swimming pool. Like at least six feet long, maybe eight feet. I want a pool just so I can have one too.

Slip and slides are a mystery to me.

Punishingly Intricate
Where in Mt. Washington?
You know that road to get to the Whole Foods? If you take a left after the bridge there's a ice skating rink, a post office, and the pool back there. That kid umm...Michael...whatever the Olympian from here trained there, evidently.

haha! Yes! I love those people. There really is something blown up to celebrate some occassion in their yard and/or on their porch At All Times.
