Back to the pool

Pool: Hi there chris, it's been a while.
Chris: Sure has, I almost forgot what you looked like.
Pool: Well, I'm glad you are back. Ease on in, the water's warm.
Chris: (enters pool)
Chris: You weren't kidding, the water is nowhere near as cold as I remembered.
Pool: They always warm it up in January, that's when all the suckers come back.
Chris: Fair enough. Here we go...

Chris: Wha! Why did you have to be so difficult?
Pool: That's what you get for neglecting me. Welcome back.

Welcome back indeed. 159 days until IMCDA. They are going to go fast.
