Home Sweet Home

In high school I went on a week long backpacking trip in the Sierra Nevada mountains in California. Part way through the trip we started talking about all the things we were going to do when we got back to civilization. Shower, shave and ice cream were all high on the list. Just because we missed those things from home didn't mean we weren't having a good time. The last week or so, to ease the pain of going home, Ben and I have begun coming up with a similar list.


First, Second and Third on the list goes with out saying - Luna. We cannot wait to see her and hope she will be as excited to see us.

The rest of the list is in no particular order.

Showers: Hot, frequent, dependably clean, and private
Dishwasher: the appliance not the job
Not hitting my head (Ben); Not stubbing my toes (Laura)
Maya: Sitting at the bar, drinking a firefly ice tea (Laura) or tempernillo (Ben) and eating an entire rack of ribs
A reliable supply of organic/humanely raised meat and fresh vegetables and a real kitchen in which to cook them (with 4 burners whose temperature is consistent and not dependent on how much propane is left, and an oven).
Cooking pizza (Ben); Eating Ben's pizza (Laura)
A choice of delicious restaurants (Maya will be first, but we are coming up with the list of must hit places after that: Ten, Mas, Bang, Tavolo ... )
Ice Cream (Laura); Ice (Ben); A Freezer (both)
Toilets that flush at the flip of a lever
Sinks that drain
Unlimited power (apologies to my energy conscious dad, but I am looking forward to not needing to check the battery before charging my laptop or toothbrush)
Season 5 of Dexter (Is that available on DVD yet??)
Season 2 of Friday Night Lights
