Maybe because I was a fall baby, it always seems like the time of the year that is time for a fresh start.

Two years ago today, Snake and I were staying in a fabulous hotel in Astoria, Oregon. It is built on a pier, directly on the Columbia River and is gorgeous.

I am missing traveling a lot these days. I know it isn’t the biggest issue in the world, but it is one of my favorite things to do with Snake.

We walk out to the car for date night and, just after I hold your door for you to get in the car, you look up at me, flash this over-the-top cartoonish innocent look, and tell me “oh, shoot. I forgot. Could you please go grab your dice?“

Crap.

I start to ask questions, but before I can do anything more than take in a breath, you look at me, put your finger to your lips, and “shhhhhh….”

It makes not much sense to the logical side of me – the side that I rely on every single day to function, do work, adult. But this has nothing to do with any of that, perhaps that’s one of the things that is so cool about it.

We were on a cruise a few years ago and found a wine bar on the ship that we loved. It was right in the middle of the main part of the ship, but tucked in a corner where we could see the ocean, the activity and still enjoy some alone time.
