Is this the life, or What!

[ChuckD]

I'm sitting here with my wireless 2.8 lb VAIO laptop, on my deck, by the pool in a new cushioned armchair. In front of me is an outdoor coffee table that in the center has a small fire pit--good for heat on cooler evenings or roasting marshmellows. Tonight, though, there are just a couple of cintronella candles burning in it, where they can't be knocked over.

There isn't a cloud in the sky (Wow! THAT'S been a lot of weeks) and there's no moon so the stars are twinkling. I hear water trickling back in the swale, and the night-callers are there but just softly--like elevator music, only better.

Even though I'm stuck with a heavy cold the moist air is giving me some relief--better than the A/C!

To sooth my throat I have a glass of 15 year old aged Martinique rum that's smooth as fine cognac, but a lot more exotic!

Does it get any better than this?

Later that evening I was also out (albeit with no internet) by the pool. Being out in the Boonies we're serenaded by all kinds of things, and that evening it was a pack of yapping coyotes one field over. Must've been the moon.

Sunday was my day to think the same. Laying in the sun on a float(I work nights) smell the hickory smoke comeing off the smoker,and a splash from the kids cannon balling in the pool. Life is good untill .... well untill monday nights fire.
