I've often thought of a day at the Louvre, a castle gazing trip down the Rhine, scuba on the Great Barrier Reef.

I once skiied, surfed, and made love in the course of a day (with cooperating weather/waves the whole way)...but...

...I think a simple pinic in a grassy park (anywhere), staring into the eyes I love, perhaps teaching a little one how to ride a bike; would be about as close to perfect as I could hope for.

How 'bout you?

A few years ago I had a leisure day. I wrote some poetry, picked pecans and took a walk in the back forty with the neighbor girl, to a waterfall.

Her: That big bullfrog's making a weird noise.
Me: Prob'ly because that little snake's eating it.

...Smooth...

going for a swim with my kids, playing football and soccer with them
at the gym, or tennis with them is high on my list these days.

yesterday they got up early and school had a 2 hour delay. they
wanted to turn on the TV and watch some garbage but the rul is
no TV on schoolday mornings!

so, we read Swan Lake and worked some math problems and I let my
son do some of the cooking...he made "grilled cheese sandwich" and
it was a very nice morning.

:smile:

I've had some pretty good days in Paris. Once, at breakfast, I met a stunning
but dejected young woman from another country who was not having a good
visit in Paris. She was staying at the same hostel as me but despite
Michelin did not know where to start and had no one to
share her time with...So I told her that this was completely
unacceptable and invited her to share a day with me. Her name
translated to "Violet" and despite the fact that I had a bit of
a cold, she accompanied me for a day. We went to the Jeu De Paume,
walked the Champs-Élysées, lunched at a street side cafe, Musee
Rodin, and as evening fell we went to Montmartre, Pizza by candlelight
wood-fired hearth on a red checkered table cloth to match the
red wine...Watching over the shoulder of a talented charcoal
artist expertly crafting lampoon portraiture. And we shared each
others dreams and memories in a mixture of the different languages
we spoke.

As evening gave way to night, I took her to Sacré-Coeur where
we overlooked the beautiful and glittering city at midnight, We held
hands and snuggled on a bench before heading back to the hostel.
The cathedral glowed white with supernatural illumination it shined
and I dare say we did too. We exchanged small gifts and addresses.
I was on my way to Zermatt and she was on her way somewhere else.
Sadly. the airlines lost some of my luggage including her info and
I never saw her or heard from her again...but we will always have Paris
and a tender kiss on the cheek - a whisper that I had given her the happiest
day of her vacation. I have a photograph of Violet wearing my tan dinner
jacket that day and my tie and a smile i will never forget.
Although I do not need the photograph any more, I still enjoy looking
at it from time to time....
