   There is nothing like the shocking coolness of a fountain. A startlingly white foot slides in just about every one I meet…propriety be damned (weather permitting). In Chicago there is a fountain in Millennium park that encourages splashing and celebrating in the cool water. On steaming hot summer days, children and adults with child like enthusiasm, splash and wade and play in the double fountain. Smiles are shared by strangers and people from all races, socioeconomic backgrounds and cultures come together with squeals of delight and laughter of children. I find it fascinating that water and the experience of celebrating humanity strips down the normal boundaries and unites.

   Thanks, River, there is something attractive about water in action. When I was a kid I used to splash around in pond left after a late spring downpour. The frogs and I worked out a deal and we shared the pond for a few days before the water drained away. I can recall the slimy muddy smells and delicious squelchiness between my toes. The sun was hot and it was wonderful.

   Hi Manda – home again, ready for the next adventure. Or perhaps going back to work. Hmmm. Decisions, decisions.
