"Not a bad idea," he says while turning his body to swim on his back. "I need to get the hang of it. What I've written lately is more similar to my style, so I feel comfortable. Listening to new music is easy, writing it not so much. I'll need to get better at local slang, as well. I've noticed rock and roll isn't as poetic."

Suddenly he dives in to swim a bit underwater. He resurfaces behind Midge and tries to take her by surprise by tickling her.
