On one of our cruising anniversaries, I listed reasons for our love of that life. So, in the interest of fair play, I will now list the joys of land life:
1. Warmth when "the weather outside is frightful," as it was for a few days last week.
2. Physical comfort in general.
3. Ease of cooking, baking, eating, and clean-up: full-size, easily-accessed refrigerator and freezer; well-insulated, full-sized oven and microwave; good stovetop; full-sized food processor; dishwasher, and so on and so on.
4. Automobiles at the ready.
5. Familiarity with the area.
6. Nearness of old friends and family.
7. Opportunity to participate in long-term activities (volunteer, social, educational, community) and make long-term commitments.
8. Never any concern about wi-fi or television reception or battery consumption or heads.
My goodness, this land life is one of ease and comfort! But never fear, we still plan to resume our cruising in the spring. Too much comfort makes Doris a complacent girl.
