There's a pool party tomorrow. Well, there's a pool party every summer, really, towards the end. I guess it's a good thing to do, giving everyone a chance to get together and eat barbecue and swim and stuff.

I always thought it was weird, when I was just a normal student, that they let all the old people come. I'm just realizing that I'm one of the old people now, and that feels weird. I've been asked to help out with the little kids a bit, do some craft projects, then I'll be free to party I guess.

So yeah, I'll be there, if anyone wants to meet up. Anyone else planning on going?

Of course I'll be there. Thanks for helping out Pete, I appreciate it. Let me know if you need any help, a whistle blow and I"m there.

Oh, and don't forget to tie your trunks tight, some of the kids like to "pants" the life guards.

Pants? Oh man, that was bad enough when I was a student. I've just got the little ones. I don't think kids get going like that until they're um... ten? Oh right, that's fourth grade. Man, I need to get them to like me. I want to take the fourth and fifth graders on a trip to the museums in Boston this year.

At first I thought you ment a little swim suit, like a speedo. I'm guessing you mean the kids. Trust me the fourth graders can sneak up on you.

Good luck with that, you have more chaperones lined up yet? It's best if they can out number the students. If that's not possible keeping them exhausted is the next best thing. I'd advice no escalators or elevators, make them take the stairs.

Or even walk to Boston...

I... speedo. Um. No. Not a speedo. Ever. On someone my height they look sort of like a bandaid. I wear trunks. Definitely.

And yes. I'm working with the little kids. Lower school, which is where I'll be teaching in the fall.

I don't have chaperones yet, but I don't think I want to go until spring. I want them to know me first, and I think the fourth graders'll need some more maturity. I'll need to figure out how many children there are, and how much help I'll need. I guess there's a lot of organization to it.

If you need help with watching the rugrats, let me know.

Thanks, I will.
