I ran into a former client and we chatted a bit. Then, he invited me to a party at his house (estate would be more appropriate). The last time I attended one of these, it consisted largely of his neighbors trying to one-up each other with clothing, jewelry and amusing little wines they had just discovered. Since he was a client, I felt somewhat obligated to attend. Not now. I told him I had a kayaking trip coming up and the duration would overlap his party.
“I’ve see some of your photos on the web. Exactly what do you do on those?” I told him we would be paddling a river. “I get that, but what do you do after the first day?” I filled him in on that. “So, you just paddle the same river over and over. That’s all there is to it?”
“No, mostly we laugh.” Which is more than they’d be doing at the party.
