Any where but work
Camping in a remote location, no technology/internet/people/noise. Peace and quiet, nothing in particular to do, no where in particular to be.

An Iron Maiden (only songs from Number of the Beast, Powerslave and Piece of Mind) and Tool (only songs from Undertow, Aenima and Lateralus) twin billing where each plays for at least an hour and a half, no standing allowed and seats are massaging recliners.

Oh, and there's wait service.

I have more than one!

1. Sitting on the back patio with a good book, glass of wine or cup of coffee in hand, and listening to the creek water bubble over the rocks

2. Sitting quietly and motionless in the dark as the sun comes up early in the morning on the opening day of deer season, listening as the birds start to wake up and begin chirping their songs, the smell of the sage dampened from the dew permeating my nose. Takes me back to when I was little and would go out scouting for deer with my dad and grandpa.
