There are times a little pooh can be a bad thing. Winnie-The-Pooh is not a bad thing, or little really.
But on a Friday night, after driving ten miles to the SUNY Brockport pool and seeing a note on the door, "no swimming until further notice!", pooh can be bad. Jan and I saw the sign and became nervous. "What if the pool is closed all weekend, all semester, what if a pump broke, how will we train?" "What else can a husband and wife do on a Friday night besides swim?" "This is a disaster!" The Eeyore in me came out instantly.
We ran upstairs to the Recreation office and asked when the pool might be open again. Apparently there had been an "accident" with a swimmer and the ability to contain his pooh during the morning open swim hours. The pool was being cleaned and allowed to filter until the following day. In addition to being suitably disgusted Jan and I both thought of the same image;
Bill Murray, Caddyshack, after draining and cleaning the pool because pooh was found floating in it (really it was a Baby Ruth candy bar). For some reason we decided to not swim all weekend.
The Roberts pool is only about 4.5 miles from your house, is pooh free, and almost never crowded with many more available times to swim. Although SUCB has much better showers. You would save time and gas money. Also, you would get to spend more swim time with me and then you wouldn't be the slowest guy in the pool.
