this morning #1793.
this morning, we all agreed that today was a perfect day to take a break. time to play. amazing weather. deadlines be damned. once we’d finished the few hours of research we had planned for the day, we hopped in the van & drove an hour east to an abandoned quarry for a swim. when we arrived, there were already two groups there—a family of five & a pack of screaming teens. have you been to a quarry? we didn’t have one where i grew up so it was quite a shock when, as we were walking over from the van, one of the teens launched off of a cliff & down into the water below. didn’t seem safe but all his friends followed. no one got hurt. as for us, we talked a lot of game but, in the end, none of us dared to take the plunge.
