Northern Exposure

A front came in last night and one of the boats got loose from a mooring. The babysitter saw it and called and the guys ran back to the house on a search and rescue mission.

Some places you travel to you still feel very connected to your life back home. Here, in a small historical seaside village (that I am not allowed to name), connections slip away for a suspended period of time and a loose boat, boating to an island for a lobster bake, an upcoming cocktail party or just enjoying a great book by the fire becomes your new reality. "Playing" and "relaxing" and "enjoying your family and friends" becomes what's most essential.

Of course the trick is to remember, post holiday, that they still should be.
