Yes-No-Yes! Poetry... was the day.

A glorious day started dark and grey at the cove with one MC waiting patiently for her other MMC to cross the finish line for the La Jolla Half Marathon -- he came down the hill with a smile (shown below), then being tired and in need of sustenance, we deliberated, called Ruth and cancelled the swim -- hey, MMC was tuckered out... it was grey and we thought we'd head to Balboa Park to laze about, and where the sun is always shining! LOL. Our Ruth was disappointed, but calmly decided to swim later and based on how good it was starting to look at the cove, I couldn't blame her... Then, after a rest, a caffeine boost and some mini-chocolate donuts, the sun came out and Bill was BACK! Quick -- call Ruth, and get her down here. Determined, she hopped in her car, braved the crowds and voila! We all were, happy as could be, the podnicks ready to swim!

We saw Wendy and Cami coming down from the club and exchanged hugs. Leonard joined as a surprise swimmer and went nearly naked (only his swim trunks!), and braved the cold (hey, it was a warm 60ish, not as clear as Saturday, but nice, VERY nice)... we all agreed as we zipped to the A, then, B, then 1/4 then A -- it was -- poetry! ... pure, blissful poetry.

So thanks be to our Ruth and Leonard podnicks and of course, so much grateful praise goes to our dear, though missing, LFTC, who let us be her club guests today -- we parked, we paid, we soaked and reveled in the luxury to soothe our tired bones... pure, unadulterated bliss! Thank you in huge amounts, LFTC... parking was so easy!!!
