Calumet Waterworks

10:40 pm

Since yesterday was the first of June, and therefore in my mind, the first day of summer (a wrong thought on oh-so-many levels) I thought I'd go swimming. In Lake Superior. At 11:00 at night (I went for a beach run first). When the wind was recorded blowing at 50 mph. In conclusion: I am an idiot.

Aside from being really really REALLY cold, it was beautiful.

Prayer for the Terminally Stupid Swimmer

If I die in this Great Lake,

I pray the Lord my soul to take.

May my body sink deep down,

In the place where I have drown,

And those who cry and morn,

Those who are forlorn,

Those who shed tears at my wake,

Know the Lord my soul did take.
