2012 is the first summer I haven't swam,
after swimming every summer ever.
no lakes, no oceans, no pools allowed.
my Swimming Memories begin at Gram's pool.
lingering memories in my brain from Gram's pool include:
-a gate that needed to be shut, the incessant hollering when it inevitably wasn't
-a top secret mission to steal Bonnie Raitt cassettes (undetected) from my aunt's open car
-a McDonald's "scratch ticket" promotion for the Dick Tracy movie, a WINNER that my cousin had not yet redeemed, the family passing it around for inspection, that daring VOID IF REMOVED section, the burning curiosity, the horrific wailing when she discovered what I'd done...
