Hi everyone.
Last night we had a full moon. Around midnight, just as November was beginning, I noticed the temperature here in central Florida was still 77. I looked out the patio door and the moonlight was illuminating our pool area very brightly. Well, what would most us do?
It was time to change my clothes! I put on a pair of my favorite boxers, grey Tommy’s with a small football pattern. I put on a pair of black socks with gray trim. Then, on came a favorite pair of Levis 559s, medium blue. On top, I added a blue t-shirt and my orange Chicago Bears Hoody, a favorite I reserve for use only once or twice a year. Lastly, my orange and white faded Vans went over the socks.
Also on the deck, in case I wanted to use them, were spare black socks, my softest pajamas, gray boxer briefs, another blue t-shirt (Ron Jon) and a brown sweatshirt. In the shoe rack were several pairs of Vans and a pair of New Balance shoes I use for my serious walking!
The sky was pretty clear and the moon very bright. I did not turn on any of the deck lights. The frame of our pool cage was almost as clear as day as its shadow played across the very still water. Being past midnight, it was quiet and still, all the Halloween activities had long since quieted down (we did not participate due to the Covid-19 illness running rampant through Polk County Florida).
Hum, seem a bit overdressed for the warm night, how to cool down? I always ponder, which is best, a long slow entry, starting with shoes, socks and slowly working my way up the jeans, to my underwear, t-shirt and hoody or one giant leap thoroughly soaking everything at once? Well, the night was just too quiet, I did a cannonball right in the deep end! Everything was soaked at once! I came up with the hoody over my head and feeling the wonderful weight of all my clothes as they soaked up the water.
We have a pool heater, and really, the nights haven’t been that cool yet, but the shorter days and less direct sunlight doesn’t allow the pool to heat up as in August. We keep it at 84 degrees through mid to late November, 80 degrees as long as not to cold nights allow and 75 degrees over the mid-winter. So, the water was glorious!
I climbed the stairs to feel the water pour out of my hoody and glue to jeans to my legs. My shoes squished and squished as I walked around the deck. Being only moonlight, everything was rather dully colored, you really couldn’t see the change of color upon the dunking. I turned on the pool light and returned to the wonderful pool. This is why we moved to Florida, I can swim in the early morning of hours of November 1st rather than complain about the early Midwest snows.
I floated on a couple of noodles, down by the pool light and I could see the darker color of my Levis and the new hue of the Bears sweatshirt. I lifted my shoes out of the water so that they stuck to my feet. I relaxed in the pool, enjoying the moonlight and mild temperatures. Yes, I had a blast.
Eventually, the lateness of the hour took its toll and I took off my clothes while in the pool, I’ve learned it is easier that way, especially for the hoody. I came out just in my boxers and hung everything up around the pool on my racks and hooks. You could hear everything dripping onto the deck. I put on my dry boxers and pjs. As I got ready to turn off the pool light, there they were, my black socks were sitting at the bottom of the pool. So, I added my pajama pants and boxers, and what the heck, my brown sweatshirt, to the soaked mix as I retrieved them. The pajama pants are Eddie Bauer’s that I picked up super cheap at Sam’s Club and are so soft, so comfortable, even when they are clinging to ones legs as the pool water drains. It was a very nice early morning.
I type this during the day on Sunday, where I think we set a near record high of 87. So, I am outside on my deck, under the overhang, while dinner cooks on the grill and my afternoon swim of white ankle socks, another pair of Levis, black boxer briefs (super silky feeling ones) and the blue t-shirt are hanging by the pool.
It is going to cool down for the next few days, but it looks like I will be back in the pool by Wednesday or Thursday. I feel for everyone in the northern states which early winter is arriving. I put up with it for 55 years and am very happy down here in Florida, where I’m never more than a few days from my next fully clothed swim.
Keep safe everyone!
