The Guilty Pleasures Re-Lounging Doctrine and the end of the Cold War...

Times may change, but the need for visionary leadership remains the same.  In all facets of life we need stewardship that's ingenious, forward thinking, daring and wise. We fondly look back at two remarkable men who were all of that and then some, Reagan and Gorbachev. Sources have reportedly disclosed that they discretely endorsed the Guilty Pleasure lifestyle by creating a global economic renaissance. The Presidents of both countries empowered millions of their citizens to embrace change while staying out in front of this groundbreaking movement with innovative ideas to expand international trade. This Dynamic Duo thrived under pressure and yet, recognized the importance of maintaining balance.  That's where the fun starts.

My balancing formula includes researching Guilty facts and enjoying a well-earned Guilty Pleasure moment with Thin Mint.  Down in the front row, we call that unwinding process ReLounging.  Yes ReLounging!  When the food's world class and the company's even better, lounging in Guilty Town is just not enough. You need to extend the merriment and ReLounge in style.


Surprisingly, this refreshing relaxation approach is not optional, it's mandatory for some folks.  Guilty Guardians require people in the Front Row to overindulge when ReLounging.  Club Members ares morally mandated by the Guilty Pleasure ReLounging Doctrine to push the limits of fun when savoring a Guilty Pleasure like a thick porterhouse steak cooked rare accompanied by single Malt Scotch or Kentucky Bourbon .

This little known lifestyle policy for the VIP section 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 knew this dicey doctrine would create a economic windfall throughout Europe and Wall Street.  The legendary GOP patriarch reportedly said it's the American Dream to pursue Guilty Bliss and this daring trade policy must be mandated. "Halfway home to Happiness, will not get it done Mr. Gorbachev, We must ReLounge with great taste and the markets will open." 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, relounging means consorting with a 109 pound Goldendoodle, wooing an always-captivating skinny chick and enjoying 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. The Guilty Counsel has declared 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.
