He sits at the bottom of
a dirt driveway upon a
beach chair
his lap-top computer in use
his cell phone at his ear
his wife standing behind
the cottage contacts him
by phone
glancing overhead he waves
acknowledgement
she turns to leave while he
continues with his
pretend vacation
his contacts by tele-
communications more
important than his real life
at this moment

My boss is like that.
Hi Pauline! Interesting.
Pretend Vacation, so sad that his wife called him on his cell to talk when she could have walked to the end of the driveway.
I have taken my laptop with me on vacation to my Sister's but only used it when all were off somewhere and I had a few minutes to myself.
Thankyou for sharing Pauline
a wonderful Sunday is wished for you
