How to Lose a Pool

Family

ImageWe are former pool owners. We know the feeling. Taking care of a pool is a costly and time consuming proposition and often you say, “I just want to fill it in and make a planter out of it.” There needs to be a good joy/aggravation ratio to make it worth having a pool. For Gary that ratio just wasn’t there. When we asked him recently what he wanted us to do to take care of the pool he responded with, “I’d like to just fill it up with sand.” When we asked if he wanted us to get a quote on pool removal, his eyes lit up. We put him in touch with “Dan the Dirt Man” and they made a contract. This morning at 7:15AM the work commenced. Soon the hole in the ground into which Gary once poured money will be filled with packed clean fill dirt and he can design the backyard of his dreams.

Imperial War Museum

London’s Imperial War Museum in Southwark founded even as the First World War raged offers insights into the myriad costs of the wars of the 20th and 21st Centuries. It was a most disquieting but valuable reminder of the myriad costs of war.

London’s Canals

London’s Canals

The two of us have long been fascinated with the history of canals and their role in the history of transportation, industrialization, and more recently recreation. This stay in London has given us new opportunities to explore and learn more about how canals contributed to the growth of this great city and how they are being used and preserved today.

National Portrait Gallery

It was a most educational visit to the newly renovated National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square in Central London. We were intrigued with the contemporary approach to presenting British History.
