Dave Thomas lived in a small apartment on Anderson Lane during the heyday of Willie and Waylon and the Armadillo World Headquarters in 1972. Unfortunately, he was only a year old. He's returned to Austin a couple times since then, most recently arriving from San Angelo in early 2002. He's married to a San Antonio girl and recently traded a Chevy pickup for a foreign SUV with a baby seat in the back. He hasn't been the same since. He was last spotted reading "Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb" to a toothy tot known as "the boy."

We went to visit the grandparents near Starrville over the holiday weekend. It was a good visit, and I’d detail it, but right now the boy is standing in his crib hollering because he figures that nodding off in the stroller for 10 minutes is all the nap he needs.
Rrrrrrgh.

My parents figured a little pool would be entertaining …

The boy was apprehensive about it, though.

Seriously. And the written instructions listed 5 rules for using the pool. The first of which was “for children 2 years or older” despite the fact that the brand name was “My First Summer.” And the last 2 rules both pointed out that you shouldn’t dive into about half a foot of water.

A little dirt on the face, I think he’s ready for summer.
