Deep Eddy is my favorite body of water. When my mom was pregnant with me in 1976, she used to sit in the shallow end and splash the cold water on her belly. I have happy memories of being naked with my mother and other sunbathing women in the open-air bathhouse. My dad and I both took ourselves for a swim in Deep Eddy after taking the Texas Bar Exam. I tried to get married there in 2005, but apparently weddings are against their policy--which is probably for the best. (The steep stone steps would have been tricky for our older guests.) These days I live on the other side of town so I rarely get down to Deep Eddy, but I aspire to be an early morning swimmer there someday.
I am not a morning person and I am always astounded by people who wake up early to exercise especially when their schedules allow for flexibility. My body clock doesn’t seem to want to move me until around 7 or 8 am. And then about 7 pm I pounce awake.
This last line is my favorite: feels like soft melancholy laced with humor, or the other way around.

Yep. I get it.
I’m going to Barking daily. The beauty is there. The exercise is less than Deep Eddy. But I know what I need most.
I swim before sunrise, or else I would!
Well, if you can't be Y, M or C, at least you can Associate.
Just make sure you pay first. Free association may unnerve the unwary.
I'm sorry. How very disappointing. I know that doesn't begin to describe it.
