Every Sunday morning at 11am, The Tail Wag
examines something that made me happy in the past week.
I am one of the
lucky ones. My apartment building in Washington, D.C. has a pool. When I lived
in Hartford, my place there had a pool. When I first moved back to D.C. in late
2011, my apartment did not have a pool and the summer of 2012 is a dark period
of my life.
Here’s a simple
piece of advice to anyone – live in an apartment building that has a pool. It
usually does not cost any more to live in such a place and it is the best
decision you will ever make.
The pool always
opens on Memorial Day weekend and that meant this Tuesday, I got quite possibly
my favorite email of the year – the one from my apartment building letting me
know that the pool is opening.
It is tough to
describe how much I love the pool. As you can tell from this blog, I write a
lot. Maybe it’s the
newspaper reporter in me, but I thoroughly enjoying lying out by the pool,
listening to
Panic at the Disco and thinking about
life. I love closing my eyes and running through blog posts, story ideas and
ledes in my head.
Especially after
the winter we
just had – one so bad that it completely obliterated spring – the pool and
sunshine is desperately needed.
