So I went swimming at the Y today for the first time in four years ... as I have recently gotten over a shoulder injury that has kept me from the pool ...
... the life guard was a high school kid who was so bored, he had his head tilted back and to the side looking away from the pool ...
... all I could think about was my not being in swimming shape and DZ's note above, hoping the kid would eventually appreciate that he was there to protect people in the pool, rather than waiting for the clock to highlight his shift end.
