We had planned to a little shopping today and see The Dark Knight before hooking up with our daughter and getting the grandkids. They got in early…, so the movie was scrapped for this weekend. Unfortunately, it’s too darn hot to really do anything outside on short notice. Spent a bit of time in a mall and then horsing around with the kids in the hotel room and later in the pool… after the sun went down. The pool is outside and the water was warm. No need to ease in slowly. The kids and I were in the pool well over an hour. My fingers are still a little wrinkled.
Tomorrow we plan to take the kids to Disney’s WALL-E which is showing in a new IMAX near here and then will be going over to North Little Rock to take them on a tour of the USS Razorback, a WWII era diesel submarine that was bought from Turkey by North Little Rock after seeing over 20 years of US Navy service followed by another couple of decades in the Turkish Navy. It’ll be my third trip through the old boat. (I really should consider joining the Submarine Veterans organization. Several other retirees that I breakfast with every other couple of weeks have spent a lot of time working on the sub. One of them is the commander of the local SubVets post.)
UPDATE August 3rd 8:43 AM: It’s supposed to get to 104 degrees F here today. We’ll not be spending much time outside.
