The benefits of marriage

I casually mentioned at a dinner out with the family that I was looking forward to a hot bath tonight, cavalierly stating maybe even with bubbles.

Not expecting even having the chance at any kind of hot water tonight, I was favorably surprised with a drawn hot bath, with bubbles, and a side of peppermint bark waiting for me soon after returning home. Ahhhhh.

Even better, I got to read Vonnegut's almost-last book, A Man Without a Country. In agreement with *nearly* all his observations, mixed with smiles of appreciation for his wit and style, I was sad, thinking of what he would have written November 5th, 2008.

Bath, bubbles, bon bon, bon mot - nice.
