Lying face down on the poolside was a plump blond woman with skin the color of beef jerky. She had a special harness for her face so that she could tan her broad shoulders without crushing her nose. She had a tremendous laugh.
In the deep-end were two elderly ladies doing aquarobics and me. They had polystyrene harnesses and weights and they managed to keep their permanented hair dry. One of the two women had a terrible bruise across her face.
I eavesdropped while resting on the pool's gutter.
"It's interesting that you say that because when we did it he took our hands like so [folded over each other] and then pronounced us."
"See we had our hands by our sides and only when we were husband and wife could we grab each others palms."
"But the prayer was the same."
"Oh yes. The prayer was."
