So no one died or was dismembered from the swim lessons yesterday, happily enough. They froze, because our lovely city seems to be practicing the utmost frugality when it comes to heating municipal swimming pools, and also it is December, but they are still in one piece. So that’s a win. To warm ourselves up, […]

Some of you will know why I am extra anxious this time around, in addition to my usual anxiousness with the kids swimming, and signing those release forms with the school that states that the possibility […]
