I'm a "Poolie."
That's what Becky Blackman, the pool manager,
calls those of us who volunteer to help her check the quality
of the water in our West Park pool.
Every weekday at 5 p.m., I enter the code to the mechanical room,
read the meter and write the numbers in the big yellow book.
Water is checked by "Poolies" four times a day.

Landon says he is growing his hair to look like a surfer dude. |

Landon spent a few days in the pool this summer |
One day, the numbers looked off so I texted Becky.
She headed to the pool and saw that the chlorine line had gone dry.
I was rewarded with a text, "Excellent volunteering!!!"
Who knew something so simple could bring me such pleasure!
Retirement.
