A week or so ago a post from 74KA suggested that when all of the COVID rules are lifted, we celebrate with a clothed swim. Well in my neck of the woods the restrictions are all gone. My and my girlfriend are still being cautious - I work in a hospital with COVID patients, and my girlfriend's father has some serious health issues. My in a couple weeks my parents have invited the whole family - me and my girlfriend, my brother and his wife and kids, and some close friends and their families, over for a cookout. A few years ago, my parents moved from West Virginia to a condo complex in South Carolina. Their complex has a large pool that as far as I can remember has never been too busy, so I'm planning on a fully clothed jump in at our family get together. My girlfriend has already said she'd join me, and I'll bet a few more of my family and friends will be in too. I'm really looking forward to it!

For a quick story from the past, I'll go back to when I was in elementary school. At the end of the school year one year, they had a rare "assembly" where the whole school sat on a hill outside and watched a presentation. The presentation, if I remember right, was some anti-drug program that was pretty much what you'd expect - pretty cringey and probably not really effective at turning the tide on the growing meth, crack and opioid epidemic. But it was kind of interesting, my school didn't do things like this very often, and they brought in a big microphone PA and sound system. The hosts were probably college-aged kids working on some project. At some point during their presentation, they asked for volunteers and asked if there were any brothers in the audience, they wanted two brothers for the skit they were going to do. Of course my hand shoots up, and Cole reluctantly raised his hand too. The hosts called us up on stage.

I honestly do not remember the whole premise of what they had us do. I remember they told Cole that he had to tell a story or something but if a word had a "B" in it, he had to replace it with a "M" or when he said it, or something silly like that. And if he failed, he'd get a bucket of ice water dumped on his head. So Cole's a good sport, and gives it a try, and of course doesn't do it right, so he gets a few buckets of ice water dumped on him. And they're legit ICE water, like with lots of ice cubes in it. Cole, as usual, just has an easy-going grin on his face while he shaking ice water out of his hair. Of course, I'm laughing hard at him. So then the host turns to me and asks if I thought it was funny to watch that happen to my brother, and obviously I thought it was. So then they had me try the same thing, and I wasn't trying to very hard to do a good job, so next thing I know they're dumping huge buckets of ice water on me.

One thing was the feeling of the water soaking through my shirt, shorts, undies and socks - I was used to that feeling by then (though the water was colder than I enjoyed), but a new feeling was being at the center of everyone's attention. It was different even from the dunk tank - strangely, the dunk tank at our annual church carnival didn't really attract much of an audience. But having our whole school (granted, that was like 50 kids tops) laughing with me - or AT me! - just made the experience that much more memorable.

Anyway, that's all for now!
