Vermont Country Journal, Part I (aka “Simple Pleasures”) — by Steve Nadis
I’ve just returned from a week of rustication in rural northern Vermont, a land where intersections are rare and internet connections even rarer. On the way back, after having paid considerably for the rental of a lakefront home, I asked my four-year-old what her favorite part of the trip was, expecting to hear about the time we went kayaking together or climbing a mountain. Instead she said: “I liked it when I took my clothes off and put on daddy’s shirt.” Which just goes to show you, you never know. But it also makes me wonder: Why did we spend all that money, piling onto an already substantial debt, for the lakefront rental, when a striptease at home would have sufficed?
