Aaah, yes, I remember this one! But I'd like to add....
1. On the hottest day of summer, when you're mowing your lawn (and sweating
profusely and swearing loudly), picture yourself floating in a calm,
deserted bay, sipping a martini in the cockpit and catching the sea breeze.
2. The next time you have to walk the dog at 6 a.m., think about sitting on
a swim grid, dangling your toes in the water, and tossing stale bread
crumbs to your pet seagulls.
3. When you get neighbors you don't like .... just move.
4. Next time you're working overtime at the office and the air conditioning
isn't working and the project deadline is looming, think about laying out
on the bow watching the sun go down over the cove.
Anyone got any more? :-)
