Oooh, I could go for a Jersey Shore weekend, too, but then I'm going to visit family there in a week or so anyway.

It's been 9 years since I've been in London, which is about 9 years too long. That's where I'd be. Only hard part would be deciding what to do with so little time.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My Maine weekend with my family a couple of weeks ago was close, with the lovely inn right on the freaking water, including the lovely porch to sit on and look at the ocean. Changes to make it perfect: an actual sandy beach to hang out on, my own room, and about 30% less family time. And no rain.

Now, to figure out who sells EW in my little town.
Alas, no one here. And I have to wait for Amazon for the book, too. But, yeah! It's almost August, Vampire People-For-Me time.
Right now, the perfect weekend for me would be a weekend in a clean house, not being sick. With perhaps a cookout at Sandy Beach or Auke Rec, or maybe Lena Point. And fresh fruit. Nice.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sighhh...
All that deep deep sand. And the breakers off Barnegate. Glorious.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My perfect weekend is hard. It has to have lazy late mornings with a beach view, Blue Mountain coffee, mellow music, and mimosas made with freshly squeezed orange juice.
There will be hammocks, light breeze, light reading and lots of laughing.
There needs to be krav, and maybe kettlebell, and working out until I can barely see straight and rehydrating with more freshly squeezed juices and some Ting.
The food is fresh, with just-caught fish. Cold pineapple is unlimited.
When it becomes evening, although there's a widescreen TV with every station under the sun, we also have HD TiVo, so no rush. There's no light pollution, and everything is very quiet except for crickets and the odd faraway dog and birds.
We can see fireflies from the veranda, and smell night jasmine.
By now we're drinking rum punch and are all very silly but pretending to be serious as we play Scrabble and cards. The night's warm, but not too hot for sheets when we finally pack it in.
On Sunday we do it again.
Or just pack it in and go sailing.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

My perfect weekend is ita's, only with more books and less exercise. I can taste that weekend. Would like it so much.
