options

Have you ever heard deafening silence? Or at least really loud silence? What about the sound falling snow makes? On our family, Christmas ski trip, it snowed – huge, fat flakes falling all around, muffling all sound except the sound of falling snow. Our last day at Arai, the snow was perfect; it felt almost as if we gliding above the snow. Practically no one was on the slopes that morning. For a while, we were the only two people in the world.

Whack! Sold! For $170! Sipping champagne and bidding on art. Midnight chocolate buffets and dips in the hot tub. High Rollers losing $40 at the casino. Two young lovers walking hand in hand along the deck and wading side by side in the clear blue sea (I am not much of a swimmer, but I trust him implicitly). We went for a cruise in 1994. It was marvelous to be a lady on the arm of my suave and handsome escort.

Where to go for summer vacation this year? Skiing in New Zealand? Alaska? Base-jumping off tall office buildings? Sunning in the islands? A Cruise? So many options, all in our own time zone! My loved one wants danger and excitement; I want a little hanky-panky (is that too lewd? – this is a family show). I’ll let you know what we decide. 🙂
