safety first

According to my west coast brother, today is "National Read in the Bathtub Day," also "Pizza Day" and "Chocolate Day." If you seriously think you would like to celebrate all three together, which actually sounds a little messy to me, consider your forth option.  Today is also "National Develop Alternative Vices Day."  While I'm not ready to give up pizza or chocolate I think I would be comfortable substituting 'reading in my recliner' for 'reading in the bathtub.'  I think it's much more practical. First, I'm a shower person, and reading in the shower really doesn't work well. Second, it's easier to get out of a recliner to answer the door, than to get out of the tub.  And the final consideration, at least for me is safety.  In pictures I've seen of people reclining in a tub full of bubble bath with a book and often a glass of wine, it looks like it would much too easy to fall asleep.  Now I'll admit that it's also very easy to fall asleep in a recliner, but you won't drown.
