Domestics ...
Tuesday one of my tenants water heater developed a leak and her bathtub faucet broke at the same time. So yesterday I took the day off to install another water heater and fix the faucet. A couple of years ago, I called a plumber, and the whole deal cost me almost $900. This time, I got the heater from craigslist for $100 (almost new) and spent the most of the day installing it and fixing the faucet. Grand total, $130.
One of the reasons I miss BsAs, it's because it wasn't real life. There were no water heaters to break, no weeds to clean, no lawn to mow, no insurance companies to deal with, almost all the "problems" were related to tango. Ha.
Maybe that's why dancing there is so good, not only there are many great dancers, but a lot of them leave all the problems they have at home, in a land far away, and bring with them only their passion for dancing. But the problems are not gone, they are just on hold.

Exactly right. When you do not have to deal with the daily grind, those pesky every day issues that a mortgage, a wife, a job throw at you - life seems so much better in BsAs where you can dance all day and all night and nothing gets in the way of that. However - focusing only on the greatness of BA as a visitor without worries, and not on the wonderful things, however small they might seem, real life can offer you (usually given by the wife, sometimes by the house, rarely by the job) is why we all go through the post BA Blues.
hum... strange how when you have someone to take care of your daily needs (laundry, cooking, ironing sans iron board, etc) life seems so uncomplicated....
I've decided when we go to BsAs again, I want a girlfriend who takes care of these things for me.... ;o)
