Can we go to the pool already!

She's ready to go to the pool today. Summer is here. It's been getting hot. I broke down and turned on our air conditioner the other night. It felt wonderful. At night we just sleep with our windows open and fans on, which is usually good, until the national soccer team wins on a last minute goal at 11.15 pm and Laura feels like she's in the middle of the stadium when the whole city, watching their respective TVs, erupts into synchronized yelling and honking. I, of course, slept through all of it.
