Ruby, sounds like you'll be okay - can't beat a seltzer water and lime to take the edge off. Great to hear the kids are having fun, nothing beats a swimmin' pool for the youngsters!
I'm hitting the "big pool" this weekend as well, heading down to the Pacific tomorrow. Rented an affordable house for the weekend right on the ocean. Middle of Nowhere type joint, the owner lives in Mexico City and he's leasing it to me while he's out of town for a couple nights. Nice deal, should be about as tranquil as it gets. I hear there have been some robberies down in that area....but what area doesn't have robberies, really? I will stay sober, alert, yet also enjoy the serenity. Hitting the road from the mountains here at about 7am, should roll up by 9.30 to the beach house. Off shortly to make a food run so I can make myself dinner tomorrow while down on the Pacific. Gonna be hot, hot, hot with a nice strong sea breeze to take the edge off. Until Sunday, gang!
