Several years ago, my wife and I charted a boat on the canals of England for a week. It was really a wonderful holiday, chugging from pub lunch to pub lunch in the bucolic fields and back woods of Great Britain. There is one memory that I shall never forget. It was drizzling (of course) we were on a very straight canal with trees evenly spaced on either side of the water. The Diesel engine was chugging in a wonderful rhythm. I was wearing full rain gear at the helm. My wife made me a cup of tea as I sat at the helm. It was indeed the best cup of tea of my life. A true God moment that just flashed into my mind this Saint Valentine’s Day... a very happy memory of being totally content. What more could a man ask for...
