Today was going to be a family day. Yay, I could hardly contain my excitement. Initially we were supposed to go someplace exciting and new but due to time constraints, we ended up settling for this dump called Echo Lake.
That Peace had taken Privatehudson there during his visit did nothing to improve my mood. As a matter of fact, I was highly annoyed at the prospect of Peace reliving her experiences with him. Yeah, me and Ph don't jive. Can't say why but I do know he started it.
So we piled into the family car. The men were up in front and we let the ladies cackle like hens in the back. The husband served as something of a tour guide of the mountains. He wasn't such a bad guy. He just wouldn't shut up. Man, if I was going to have to be in the car with him for much longer I would have probably stabbed out my eyes.
We stopped at a gift shop and had some chili. Peace might be an excellent artist, but her taste in backgrounds for photographs just sucks. We had some group shots. I cannot describe the pain it caused me to smile or otherwise not scowl for the camera.
If Denver's air was making my loopy, this place was even worse. At eight thousand feet above sea level I was downright hallucinating. We stopped over by the lake, got out of the car, and watched the water on the lake. How sweet and picturesque. It was enough to make me vomit.
The husband decided to ask more questions of me. I was already in a foul mood dealing with him in the car, and now that I wasn't confined inside the car I was felt more comfortable jabbing at him.
We talked about movies. He obviously liked westerns. That's ok. So does my dad, dinosaur that he is. I laughed with him and talked to him about some of my favs....'Unforgiven' being my alltime one.
He asked me what my top three favorite movies were. I thought for a moment and shot back at him, "The Graduate, Unfaithful, and Y Tu Mama Tambien."
He froze, eyes narrowing dangerously and locking onto mine. I stared at him a few seconds, bemused. He wouldn't break the gaze though. I couldn't help but think to myself, "You're 47 frickin' years old and still doing blinking contests?"
Maybe the sun got in his eyes. Maybe a speck of dust caught him. But he was the first to break. Loser, if you step up to the plate you better be able to hit.
We lingered for a little bit before Peace's mom's friend started complaining about I dunno, whatever it is old women complain about; arthritis most likely.
We piled back into the car. Hubby and I didn't have too much to talk about. Peace mentioned the fossilized footprints as a possible attraction. I turned to her and said, "I dunno. Did you take Ph there?" Her resounding no satisfied me and I expressed an interest in checking it out. Yeah, I can be catty. So what?
The footprints were amazing. It's difficult to describe the feelings that are invoked when you look upon such an ancient record of giants once having walked the earth. But they were nonetheless exhilarating.
The tour continued to some mountain town with a lot of gambling houses. Their collective exteriors ranged from pretty decent to downright hokey. We didn't actually stop off inside any of them though.
Peace was going to order Mexican food for dinner. Silly, naive girl thought she was an expert on the cuisine and ended up asking me what the heck I was ordering. I'm sorry, but if profess to know mexican food and have no idea what horchata or flan is, you need to be shot.
While she was gone, the hubby engaged me in a game. You know the game. It's called 'illusion of choice'. They have a fairly extensive DVD collection and he asked me what movie I wanted to watch. Btw, the family eats dinner while watching television. I'm not one to judge(okay maybe I am) but I can't think of a more emotionally detached activity connected to what should be a family's one moment of daily intimate togetherness.
In any case, he asked me what movie I wanted to watch. I shot off a few choices. He gently nixed them and asked if I'd ever seen 'Open Range'. Surprise, surprise; a western. I told him I hadn't but didn't have the heart to tell him I had no interest in it. That was all he needed. We were going to watch not only a movie he liked but he was going to teach me a lesson through Robert Duvall's character. He was gong to show me what an honorable man was, why he idolized this character, and why I should do idolize him too.
Peace only took a few hours to get the food. I wasn't surprised. Women have a profound lack of sense of direction. She probably got lost a few blocks from the house.
So we dined on cold food and watched a boring western. The couch was too deep. There was no back support for me when I was eating. And Peace, having decided to sit next to me, decided to start playing footsies with me. I wasn't sure how to take it so I just shut up and tried to play it off.
We capped off the night by sending Peace's mom and her friend to bed and sitting on the patio enjoying stogies and cocktails. The conversation was decent until Peace's hubby started going off how savage Muslims were historically. What a goober. If you're going to be ignorant of history please keep it to yourself.
The previous night I'd slept on the sofa but the pillows just didn't do it for me. So we pulled out the bed from it and got it ready. Peace brought down an extra blanket and a pillow; her first showing of courtesy. I slipped into my shorts under the covers and took off my shirt. I buried my head in the pillow while laying on my stomache and found her staring at me through my one exposed eye. Cute. I finally caught her. She responded by hitting me with a pillow.
In any event, I knew it was my last night. And tomorrow couldn't come too soon.

Aculias,
Perhaps you recall . . . or perhaps not. I did say that you are welcome to come to my house. If you ever come to Portland I will cook dinner for you, you can meet my son, two daughters, and wife. We'll have a good time over a warm meal in good company. If you decide to come then email me and I'll make the preparations. You can stay the night and sleep by the fireplace. I have a large couch there. My brother tells me it's a cozy place to sleep.

Last Day
As I am writing this, I have since gone back to visit Peacemaker. Call it what you will. I call it being a glutton for punishment.
I had to wait several hours after I woke up but Peace finally put some breakfast together. No wonder her husband is so slight of frame. Poor guy must be starving because of his wife's neglect of her god given duties.
He and I sat down to eat. Whereas I would have preferred virtual silence he felt the need to flap his gums and ask extremely probing questions. I wasn't comfortable with his invasive interrogation and I tried to give as short of an answer as possible to his questions, thinking that as a fellow man he'd get the hint. Alas, my expectations for the older generation are too great. I found myself being grateful that I'd chosen an early flight.
The time had come to pack up and get going. Now I don't know what kind of finagling Peace did, but she was going solo in taking me to the airport. I said goodbye to Peace's steely-eyed governess of a mother and her mom's goober-liberal, new age, candle loving, incense burning, swears the poles are switching, friend. I went to give the obligatory handshake to Peace's husband and found myself in a bear hug. Yech! Don't get me wrong. I'm all about back slapping and high-fiving. But dudes ain't supposed to hug. Anyway, considering our previous exchange I was surprised Peace's husband wasn't personally helping my luggage to the car.
So Peace and I started heading to the airport. Not 5 minutes into it she told me she wanted to take a detour. I was pretty irate by this point and my feeling was that it was too late for that; that without the specter of being caught there was no thrill for where she was trying to take me. Turns out I was a bit off. We parked next to some stupid creek and she started droning on about what she let her son do there. I smiled and nodded, doing all the things I could do to let empty her head of words.
One thing about Peace though is that she is utterly incapable of shutting her mouth. I've stood in awe of her ability to rant for five minuts straight without so much as drawing a second breath. Mind you, it's not the good kind of awe. I'm not the type to interrupt someone unless I'm angry. But it came down to either getting her back into the car or the authorities finding my bleached skeleton on the guardrail next to the creek.
We got to the airport in a fair amount of time in spite of her going 5 m.p.h under the speed limit. She'd mentioned something about an accident a few years ago, but I knew the truth. I knew she wanted to drag this out as much as possible.
I checked my bags and found myself being escorted by Peace to the security checkpoint. I allowed her to put her arm around me, figuring she wanted people to think that she'd bagged some dude half her age. Hey, I understand how it is with appearances.
When we got to the checkpoint we embraced. Ugh it had been too long. A simple hug made me start growling. Peace stopped pretending to ignore it and hugged me even tighter. Great, just what I needed. She molested my face with her hands. She almost knocked me out with her shnoz. And then she kissed me on the cheek and sent me on my way.
Thank god.
While I was on the plane reminiscing about what happened, I came to one simple, inescapable conclusion.
I should've gone to New York.

Aculias,
No! Don't stay in a hotel! I insist that you stay with my family and I. Email or IM me the dates and I'll see to it that you have accomodations for sleeping the night. You will be my guest. My hospitality will be yours. I'll give you my address and such. You will be welcome in my house . . . just as I gave you my word that you would be.

*Sigh* ....
It is my hope that some day I can travel to any city in Britain, except London. The expense alone must be astronomical, not to mention the difficulty in trans-atlantic travel. I know just what I'd do if I went. I'd find a moderately small city and visit the local bookstore. I'd look for anyone willing to chat with a curious American from Oregon and Texas. After finding and continuing a healthy discussion, I would then relocate myself to a pub for sample of their dark beer selection. I would then look to see if I could find a suitable tour guide that would lead me to local eats. I'd have a full belly, a good beer, and plenty of stories to think about at night before going to bed. I hope I could stay for a week. If only ....

Consis, you can always go to York or Sunderland or that sort of area. It's really nice there. Not to mention the cool accent. Which I used to have (Sunderland) but which I lost when I stopped visiting there so often
