Photo 10: A Childhood Memory

Until I was 9, and my family moved to the Dirty South, we lived in Arizona. I'm not sure if I can thank this or being born a Cancer for the fact that I am a lifelong water baby. Whatever the reason, I remember spending the bulk of my early childhood in pools. Our pool, friends' pools, and the swim team - I'd say that I spent the better part of March to, say, October each year in the pool.

We've been lucky to have pool in both of our apartments here. Water baby though I am, I'm not a penguin, so I haven't gotten into this pool just yet. But soon it will be warm enough. Very very very soon.
