I. M.

It is a rainy Sunday morning. Took the dog for a walk in the rain; since we put down sod, we now have to walk the dog every morning so he doesn’t kill the grass by peeing on it. Dog kept me up a lot last night. My neck hurts. I’m in a shitty mood… kind of. My dearest darling wife wants to do a “Meditation”… I mean a COUPLES MEDITATION. Just in case you didn’t guess, I’m not all to hip on meditation, and even less hip on couples meditation. She wants to meditate while hugging each other. “No.” was my response. I rethought it quickly, and added “I’m not comfortable with physical contact. The wife then offered up “TALKING” as another option. Ha-ha… no, she was actually serious. I gave her a glancing stare as I walked out of the kitchen and offered a grunt.

Rounding the corner and entering the living room, it dawned on me! “Baby, I think we need to stay in separate areas of the house, meditating in tandem while we communicate via Instant Messenger”. That’s it, “Instant Meditator”! This could be what I have been trying to figure out for years; a way to do things with my wife that makes her happy, while actually not having to participate. Different areas of the house… I can be surfing the net for performance information on my truck, checking water levels for kayaking, reading Nicks new blog.

Oh boy, it is a good morning!
