Back in the saddle

Vacation was truly wonderful ... a week in Hawaii can't be anything but, right?
It was eight days of body surfing, seeing fish, eating fish, eating too much in general, drinking too much salt water.
And doing it with the family.
Which made it the best part of all. Those with aging parents know the routine. At best, the opportunities to round up five people, mesh their varied schedules and schlep them someplace for a few days are very scarce. And the time to spend together as a family is getting scarce, too.
But to see the smiles on mom and dad's faces during the past few weeks -- as the credit card commercial says, "Priceless."
