These are his own words:
At some point in the future, someone is bound to ask me "What is the most sensuous thing that you ever did?". Well, I expect that lots of special events in my life will pass through my mind, searching for the best answer to that question. (To be honest, that weekend in Malibu with Christina Aguliera is gonna be hard to beat, so let's put that event aside for the moment.)
On the short list of answers must be "The 2 hours that I spent yesterday in a hammock on Mike's porch".
Mike is prepping me for a weekend of tent / hammocking up in the New Hampshire White Mountain National Forest. That is a much-loved place in my heart (and Mike's too).
For the last 30 years, my idea of camping has been "Sheraton", "Days Inn", etc etc. But we are going to go back to basics on this trip and sleep out at night in hammocks slung between trees. With my old bones, that was possibly a problem. But .....
I got into the hammock loaded with anxiety molecules. Ten (10) ####ing seconds later, I was lost, comatose, catatonic, nirvanic . . . . gonzo..... and I stayed in that condition for 2 hours. (Un-####ing-believable is how I described it to Deb. )
I drove home in this smooth, warm, tranquil state of mind, and later that night realized that I somehow left my cellphone AND a hearing aid in the hammock. (One of life's mysteries I guess.)
I suspect it is going to be a good trip!
