Summer is almost here, and many suburban normals are looking forward to dusting off the flip-flops and Hawaiian shorts, thrusting open the storm windows in shirtsleeves, and rolling out the barbecues in a prelude to meeting the neighbors again. Many other people are looking forward to rugged yet romantic through-hikes, freeclimbing, post-COVID love-ins, expensive restaurants and of course that Wallawalla Valley couples-only winery tour.
But not you. You have children.
Never mind about that for the moment, let’s talk about 3 great things people WITHOUT kids can enjoy this summer.
1. Bermuda
Since they don’t have to pay school fees, doctors or dentists, buy little pairs of shoes or other clothes, or feed any little hobgoblins, people without children are pretty much loaded with disposable cash, and it is burning a friggin hole in our pocket! Why not splurge on a getaway to a tropical destination, hell why not a beach where they charge US top dollar?
2. Snoozing, just kicking back and dozing off
Snoozing in a hammock slung above a gently burbling creek somewhere outside of Telluride, next to our brand new 4×4, children not only not heard, but not ever seen.
3. Watching a movie in a theater.
Why the heck not, since we don’t have any whiny little brats tugging on our skirts, and with an entire lineup of R-rated films to choose from, we might even watch TWO movies. Make that a large popcorn, bartender!
