There are lots of people who like the water. They like swimming, boating, fishing, or just watching the waves crash against the shore, and that’s great. But it ain’t for me.
I’d rather be deep in the woods, hiking, searching, listening to the wind blow through the trees, smelling the pine, or the wetness of the dew in the early morning.
We have a pool in our back yard. A 27 foot round, above ground. In thirty years I’ve been in that pool maybe 10 times. My wife loves it. Nor do I sit on the deck over looking the pool. I usually sit on the front porch with a pipe in a hand.
So my wife says to me.
“Lets go to the Lake and sit by the water.”
I said NO.
She asked why.
I said, “because it’s boring.”
She said. “but I like the water.”
I said. “Then you go.”
She said. “When was the last time we did that?”
I said. “Can’t remember, and don’t care. If I wanted to sit by the water I’d pull up a chair in front of our pool.”
She said. “Your not normal.”
