I have been to the top of the mountain, I have crossed over rickety bridges, and I have walked through stripes of possible pee in the pool. There is no better pre-birthday present than an evening and day at a hot springs in the mountains. There is no better idea than taking a five day break from two life-sucking jobs.
I have learned many things in this long birthday weekend: one of which is that if you watch parts of the "Ten Commandments" movie, your weekend will go from a few short days off to the longest possible decade in your life. I kept yelling at Moses to drop the tablets, dye his beard and run off with the sinning women already, but it never happened.
I have learned that no matter how you sit, the waiter will not bring you the free samples guaranteed on the bar menu. And neither, the next morning, will the waitress willingly refill your coffee cup more than once.
I learned there is a t.v. show called Sex Talk that is filled with many amazing questions and answers and that I now know far more about various bits of anatomy than I ever wanted to know (something about butt orgasms...).
I have learned that when the hot springs place sells beer at the poolside bar, you’re going to have a LOT of frisky folk in the water...and people too lazy to pee in the bathroom. There is nothing quite like many bits of humanity in a large, mildly warm, with warmer spots, puddle. Evolution in action.
