Options

Should I go out and get brunch or fix brunch here and then go out and take that swim class later?

I don't have a brunch candidate I'm dying to try out so I think I'm going to opt for door number 2. I was going to skip swimming but the class today is at a pool I have yet to try - seems like a good day to try it and it is lovely and cool out.

Turns out there will not be any work this weekend after all. There is a Mariner game this afternoon but, honestly, I'm over baseball this year. If I'm here, I'll check it or check it on my phone but I'm already in Maybe Next Year mode.

So I think I'll start with breakfast and see what happens then.

If you didn't have the swim class, you could pick a direction and drive somewhere, and have brunch where you ended up.

That sounds like a great idea and very doable with the gps on my phone - I wouldn't get lost and it could tell me restaurants. I'll have to give it a go sometime.

You could eat brunch at the gym while in the pool - at least if the place was the one that Adam Gopnik wrote about in Rules of the Sport in The New Yorker (May 1996) and available in Paris to the Moon - a most hilarious book. At that pool, people got in to the pool and stood on the side drinking cups of tea.

In the Bahamas, a lot of the hotels had bars in the middle of the pool - at least they did in the olden days - but not much food since you had to wait an hour after eating to swim...

At city pools there are almost as many signs saying
NO FOOD OR DRINK ALLOWED NEAR POOL

as there are ones that say
NO RUNNING

And all of them make me want to sprint in with a sandwich.
