susandennisMadalene showed up at the pool today. Madalene is an 80 something friend from when I used to take aqua jogging classes. The one I used to take starts about the time I finish my laps on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I haven't seen here there in a long long time. I used to joke with her when she missed a class that I had been checking the obits and expected her to turn up there or in the class sooner or later.
Today she walked over to my side of the pool and I stopped swimming to chat "So you aren't dead??!! Isn't that fun?" I briefly caught her up on the poop - Jennifer finally got a job, just this week, Judith is getting married... and moving to Jamaca, Chuck (the instructor she really didn't like) quit and Brent was now teaching and he's good. She asked if I had time to meet after class and we agreed on Subway. Sofia, the new life guard was listening to all of this and just cracking up.
I finished my swim and went to Subway. I was about halfway done when Madalene showed up and then Kathy (another from class) arrived. We had a lovely chat. Kathy had shower invites for Judith's bridal shower we we all agreed we aren't going to but she also had a great plan for a group gift. We gave her $ and she'll make it happen - easy peasy. I need to rsvp to the invite.
It was a nice little afternoon interlude.
I just got a request for an interview for a magazine article in http://narrative.ly/ . I'd never heard of the site before. It looks really interesting. I'm not asked for interviews often but routinely turn them down when I am. But this one, I might say yes to. I like the site and the writer sent a really nice request. I think she needs to be rewarded for that alone! So, what the heck. Her story is on webcams.
