Massage Night

Don't hate us, but my husband and I have had a masseuse come to our house every other week for the last 8 years.

Something about it must work. We're rarely sick. And we're certainly never sick on massage night.

Years ago we had a chair massage at a business function, and my husband asked that masseuse to come to the print shop that he owned with her massage chair every two weeks so that employees could have a nice perk. One thing led to another, and the masseuse started coming to our house with her massage bed and a boom box for music.

After a while, hating to see her have to pack and struggle with the stuff, we bought our own bed that we keep in the closet in the extra bedroom. She sets the bed up here in the office when she comes. I also figured out how to use Windows Media and started playing massagey CDs (see above "Forest Rain") on this very PC. So now all she has to do is get out of the car, warm her very strong fingers, and have at it.

I'd advise it for everyone. It's not really that expensive, and a wonderful treat. And I do believe that it's part of the reason why we're never sick.

Of course you do have to get over the fact that she's massaging your wrinkled old body with its dimply old fat, but once you get past that, it's pretty doggone cool.

Must light the candles. Ciao!
