At Least Get Your Feet Wet

It's about fit. Some folks love a frenetic pace and constant activities while others enjoy watching the minutes accumulate while they read a long and convoluted book.

Quick drinkers of coffee or sippers of tea, plain iced coffee or an extravagance of flavors, a horse race or a tortoise trot.

Put them together and compromises are necessary. Without accommodations it's akin to wearing shoes that rub or a tight hat.

I'm preparing myself for a large family vacation with scuba diving, water skiing, skin puckered, water loving relatives, in a place where being in the water, or on the water--takes precedence over everything else and I don't even own a bathing suit.

Perhaps I can find a hill to climb.
