So I keep this pad out on the side of the pool, and when my kids get really, really bad in the pool, we stop, and I'll either draw a comic of them in the notebook, or we'll do a pool poem together. But then, for the pool, I discovered this brand of notebooks called Rite in the Rain, and I believe these are mostly used by naturalists and outdoors-people. I keep one of those in the shower, because I'm one of those really cliché people who gets ideas in the shower. There's a thing called AquaNotes and this comes in a pad with suction cups on the back. 298: Austin Kleon Show notes: Waterproof Writing Pads: Aqua Notes Water Proof Note Pad ($10).
