Wow, I'd forgotten how nice a leisurely putt putt along boat ride can be. I believe one of my anti-boat riding influencers is the fact that normally I can't hear squat when aboard a boat on this noisy lake, hearing amplifiers inserted or not. As a rule, it causes an alone feeling even tho I'm sitting there with a bunch of other folks. Usually this is the typical mode for me anywhere there is a gathering where I'm included. It is certainly not a very happy situation that I can walk away from in most instances but on a boat I'm trapped with it! The thing is yesterday on the boat ride with interesting and enjoyable friends, my problems were only a third of the usual, which increased my pleasure by 67% or more. With three others aboard, I had problems hearing only one.
Dory, who sat closest to me was the problem to hear. I don't really mean hear when I say that, I can hear but the sounds aren't strong enough to carry the words through the ear cannel to my decipher. Anyway we talked about that problem this morning. I accused her of only whispering or talking in an almost soundless tone to me but she denied it. On the boat, she says, because she was a little behind me and the motor being a bit behind her, that was the culprit. I'm telling you, the boat is not the only place I have that problem with her. Personally, I think my deficient hearing is one of the major players that she is using to wipe that silly grin permanently off my face and slip me down deeper into the subordinate level that she has already stuck me pretty deeply into.
Tho it was a very enjoyable outing taking the fine meal of the night past out of the equation would still leave us knowing we had a wonderful time that we wouldn't trade for anything, with an old real friend and a new friend!
