House sitters

This picture totally reminds me of high school when my girlfriend Carrie and her best friend Gretchen somehow ended up getting to house sit a large house perched on the West Hill of Portland, overlooking the wooded city. It had an outdoor pool, which the owners said the girls were welcome to use. They didn't mention anything about inviting me over. The girls called me and invited me over. When I arrived, I found them already testing out the pool. They were skinny dipping.

I can't tell you how thrilling that was. So dangerous. breaking so many rules. It's impossible to feel that rush again, although skinny dipping is never dull. It's just that one can never go back to that very first time.
