Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Saltwater pool sounds fancy!

It's the newest Y (it replaces the old facility- has 2 pools even! Lap and rec/shallow lesson pool) and it is my understanding that the Y org in general is moving to saltwater where viable. It's the second in the MD network. The other is out near where I used to live (but wasn't there when I was.)

I have to say, all the pools I swam at in Australia were salt (well, all were on the coast, one was just filtered ocean water!) and I really liked it. It had a lovely effect on my skin and was less drying than the chlorine.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Someone tell me I don't need the last piece of king cake.

Um....it would be a very kind thing if you gave it to your husband/mom/MIL instead?

Dana, I think you told yourself with that double post.

I guess my computer really thought I needed to be told.

Great idea, Jesse. Now that I'm more mobile, that could work.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I don't know, Dana, I think you might need it. You probably shouldn't listen to me, though, I am unreliable in these matters.

Ooh, yeah, saltwater is nice on the skin, isn't it? I like the buoyancy.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Okay, the spinning jellyfish women were a little baffling.
