Swimming and Sunsets

 

Last night I had a lot of trouble sleeping. I wondered if the iced decaf pandan latte Travalon had brought me after band practice was in fact not decaf, but he was sure it was because the barista was a regular who knew his order. Anyway, for whatever reason I couldn't sleep, so I listened to my favorites by Bach and Vivaldi until finally getting sleepy not long before 3 am... and then my alarm went off an hour earlier than I'd expected because I'd forgotten I worked on campus on Friday. I could have gone in to campus today, but I worked from home and did take a leisurely walk in the shade at lunchtime. When Travalon came home, we went swimming in the outdoor pool at the health club, which was not packed with kids, but the ones who were there sure were taking up a lot of room. Still, we managed to find enough space to swim for almost half an hour solid, and when we came home, the sun was just setting so we went out on the dock to watch it. I was so relaxed, I felt like that time Tiffy and I went to the water spa for her birthday. Here are a couple three photos, as they say.

Speaking of sunset photos, here are a couple three four Travalon took at the Union Terrace on Saturday.

He also forgot to send me the photos he took of a video game called Pengo that he played yesterday while I was at my drumming lesson.

He said it's a game where a cute little red penguin goes around a maze and breaks up ice bergs, but these evil yellow bugs come and kill it. I don't remember this game from back in the day, but it certainly looks retro enough to be from our Gen X youth. To anyone of a younger generation reading this, yes it's true that back then I got hit over the head by an aluminum bat another kid carelessly flung in gym class, and they just gave me some ice for my head and sent me off to my next class, which was French. This is why we don't scare easy - we figured either something would kill us, or it wouldn't, and we'd just get an ice pack and have to go conjugate the verb "etre."
