At the end of a long work day, La Familia takes over and relounging is the order of the day. Yes re-lounging. When the shadows of the day are long, lounging is just not enough. You need to take that next step and ease down into the Valley of Fun .
You really have no other option. This sequence of events is morally mandated by the Guilty Pleasure Re-Lounging Doctrine. This little known lifestyle policy was reportedly negotiated by Presidents Reagan and Gorbachev at their 1986 summit conference in Reykjavik, Iceland. The two most powerful men in the world unanimously decreed that you must re-lounge to fully decompress. Reagan said it was the American Dream to achieve a gleeful state of happy. "Halfway home, will not get it done Mr. Gorbachev," the former 40th U.S. President may have nobly declared.
Many political historians now believe that this groundbreaking joint executive ruling led to the tearing down of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Cold War.
For me, relaxing means consorting with a 95 pound puppy, wooing an always-captivating skinny chick and chillin with two remarkable teenagers. Afterwards, I ascend to the next level of private enjoyment required by the Re-Lounging Doctrine. Sometimes it's surfing the net for great guilty vacations. Other times it's a very smooth tequila and the Colbert Report. Occasionally it's a lunar gaze and smoke signals.
Each of us takes a different path to Guiltyville and the personal pleasures that follow. Remember to strictly follow the Re-Lounging Doctrine. There is no more important guilty pleasure than nourishing the body and re-lounging the spirit.
If only room service was part of that far-reaching Presidential decree.
