I just want a do-over so I can enjoy them again even more.

I went back to school awhile back to get my teaching degree. I was much more driven to get high marks than I was when I got my comp sci degree. I was also working a full-time job and had 2 young children at home. The stress was incredible. I'm all for learning, but there doesn't seem to be any way to recapture the freedom of youth.

Zelda, my friend, you and I are simpatico!! Because we live in the Shenandoah area of Virginia, my husband is forever begging me to go camping in the mountains.
I've told him I will only camp if we stay in a cabin that has running water, electricity, heating and air-conditioning, bathrooms a fully equipped kitchen and for the ultimate in roughing it, a hot-tub.
My idea of roughing it is staying at a 3 star hotel instead of a 4 star hotel.
