The Lake Debate

In the quest for balance, for time with family, for restorative recreation, there is the lake.  This past weekend, for Parpelade's birthday weekend and Bro's last vacation before starting a new job, it was Greenwood Lake, a favorite.  Close enough to the city, yet far enough to feel really far.

For years now, since the first visit, the internal debate has been whether to aspire for a home there.  Would it be used enough to justify the expense?  Could it generate income to offset the expenses?  Would the small lake become too much of a bore too soon?  Or does staring at a lake and hills and trees just outweigh all of those worries?

No answers yet.  The weekend was lovely.  The longing continues.  If money were no issue - ah, if money were no issue....
