Own a Jeep. Wait for a perfectly sunny and breezy Saturday and take the top off. Throw on a pair of boxers and a tank top and pack an overnight bag. Put some Led Zeppelin in the CD player and drive out to a cozy little house somewhere in the desert mini-mountains in the middle of nowhere, for a little R & R with some new old friends... Take the scenic route with the winding two lane mountain roads.
Reminisce. Pet the dogs, ride the horses, eat barbeque, drink, laugh; rag on your old boss. Play D.J. and make sure the music's loud. Dance. Relax in a porch swing and listen to the noise Cottonwood trees make in the wind. Tell funny stories.
When it gets dark, build a fire. Chop a dead tree trunk down and burn it. Break the branches of a dead bush and burn them too. When breaking the branches, don't forget to overestimate how much pressure it will take to break them. This way, you'll be sure your shin meets the brick lining of the fire pit. You'll have a funny story to tell your friends and a souvenir to go with it.
Eat more barbeque, help your drunken friends to bed, mix another drink, and return to the fire pit. Listen to more funny stories. Laugh. Listen to Led Zeppelin, Stevie Ray Vaughn, The Black Crowes, and Johnny Lang. Tend to your fire and watch the moon make its way across the night sky. Say good night, grab a sleeping bag, and crash.
Wake up to the smell of breakfast and the sound of friends laughing. Hydrate. Eat breakfast at a 16 x 5 foot table made out of logs. Sit in the sun. Talk. Laugh. Listen to the sound Cottonwood trees make in the wind. Say goodbye to friends who leave. Talk. Laugh. Listen to the sound Cottonwood trees make in the wind.
Throw on a pair of boxers and a tank top. Pack your bag. Say goodbye to the horses, the dogs, and your friends. Put some Led Zeppelin in the CD player and drive home. Take the scenic route...
Repeat.
