Separation Anxiety - A real world experience

Imagine taking a scenic drive out of town to a wonderful hotel where you plan to just unwind, relax and thaw out for a couple of days. You are with your sweetheart so you are looking forward to all the (ahem) “play time” that your getaway could tolerate. Oh yes sir, you are going to handle your business alright. You are thinking to yourself “I am a baaaad boy.”

You already rescheduled your business meetings. You inform your clients you are unavailable for the next couple of days. You even manage to squeeze in a couple hours of work in the early morning just so your clients don’t pay the price for your rendezvous. And it is smooth sailing from here.

You get to your destination, check in at the front desk, get up to the room and take in the view. You manage to scrounge up enough pennies to pay for a room with a nice ocean view so you take full advantage by opening the door so you can hear and feel the ocean breeze. Ahhh, the sweet sound of the waves rushing to shore accompanied by the therapeutic and distinctive smell of the ocean.

Paradise. Well if it isn’t, it sure is damn close to being paradise.

You and your honey sit in one of those lounge chairs and you grab a beer and take a sip, snuggle up and whisper in her ear.

No, you don’t say something sexy. Or naughty. Or romantic. Heck, you don’t even say “Honey I love you” or “We are going to have a great time Sweetie”. No, no whispering of sweet nothings here.

What do you say?

“The kids would really love this!”
