What's in a name?

I suppose it is about time to explain my clever screen name. When Kevin and I first started going to the Colony hot tub on a daily basis we were very enthusiastic, as most should be. Sitting in the tub longer than the recommended 15 minutes required physical as well mental stamina and fortitude. We experimented with a number of solutions that might enable us to stay longer. The half-in-half-out technique worked for a while as did the roll in the snow, but what we realized was that we needed to cool our core temperatures in order to increase our exposure time. We started taking glasses of water to the hot tub, which dramatically increased our time. We hadn't realized that we needed to rehydrate in order to replenish our body's store of water that we had lost. This was an important breakthrough and Kaley and Tacie will probably testify as we stopped by their apartment nearly everyday to refill our water glasses. What really put us over the top was a random trip to 7-Eleven. We came back from a baseball game and stopped by to get slurpees before heading home. The thought occurred to us that the slurpee would be really good in the tub and would achieve all the desired results as water re hydration, but with all the added sweetness of a semi-frozen beverage. Hence the name slurpee-in-hand.
