sometimes he likes to swim back and get up on his platform and sunbathe and groom himself. he's not old yet though some days he's younger. a girl yesterday said he's a great swimmer, she saw us that day there were big waves and he was jumping in like a crazy kid. so maybe when you get older you can play it how you feel, you remember being young in your bones and suddenly you feel young in your heart, and then again you may just want to bask in the sun of your experience and time.
