On a cold 20C California night!
Vanessa had a marvelous birthday party at her aunt’s home in Santa Monica. She invited lots of friends, cooked some goodies and used up a ton of energy to heat the pool and the whirlpool! Well no one would swim, cuz it was a cold 20C California evening!
So I sacrificed myself, demonstrated some Canadian Hutzpah and was the first to get into the whirlpool. I pretty much stayed there for the duration of the evening (3-4 hours!). It was not easy but i was trying to show my appreciation! Eventually the hot cement pond filled up with a rotation of great people, many speaking Hebrew with accents from Argentina, Uruguay and Mexico, and i met a fine couple from NY! Fortunately Sam (red head!) brought me some beverages as my pal Nadav was way busy with the birthday girl (i forgive him though)!
