"Just One More Day"

(originally written 10/10/06)

Mitch Albom's new book, "Just One More Day," got me to thinking what we'd do if Deb was here for one more day.

Presuming she wouldn't be sick, I'd let her sleep in until 1 p.m., as usual. After letting her play on the computer and watch her soap operas, I'd take her to the Lowry Park Zoo and we'd watch the manatees for a while. Then I'd take her to her favorite restaurant, The Front Porch, for dinner. Then we'd come home and sit on our front porch for a while, talking. Then we'd head inside to cuddle and make love, and then we'd go to sleep.

Not the most exciting day, I'd admit. But I'd give away all I own if it could come true.
