On skinny dipping.

[trof]

My friends down the street were out of town for several months, working.
I said I'd check out the house and take care of their pool, forward mail, etc. while they were gone.

I was scooping leaves and such on hot day, checking the salt level,wearing shorts and a T shirt.

It was damned hot and that pool sure looked inviting.
It's fairly secluded so I thought "What the hell?".
On the patio behind the house I stripped down and jumped in.
Fabulous!

I was backstroking along, just enjoying myself, when I heard the older (my age) lady next door yell "TROF! YOU BETTER PUT A BATHING SUIT ON!"

Aw crap.
Really?
I couldn't see her, and I couldn't see how she could see me.

So I yelled "BETTY! COME ON OVER!"
I got no reply.


I later ran into her at a party and she insisted that she didn't really see 'anything'.
So why did she screw up my nice swim?
Busybody.

1. I sure wish I had a neighbor like you, trof.

You can skinny dip in our pool any time.

2. Ultrerior motive.

I knew I'd have a pool for the whole summer.
They're close friends and I'd have done it anyway.

It was ideal.
There was an outdoor kitchen/grill on one end of the patio.
With an ice machine.
The whole thing was screened in.
No bugs.

Miz t. and I would go down at 4 p.m. with a bottle of Scotch and glasses.
Portable radio to listen to NPR.

Fix drinks and laze in the pool.
Good times.

3. she didn't really see 'anything'

Are you sure that wasn't an insult?

I'm kidding, I just couldn't resist.

4. The water was very cold.
