    I prefer liquid soap, I don't like this slippery rock like soap. I think I'll take a bath once I get my boy to bed read some Macbeth and have a glass of white

    Personally, I think that the unique and supreme delight lies in the certainty of doing 'evil'–and men and women know from birth that all pleasure lies in evil. - Baudelaire

    It's a definate aye.
    The bath isn't like the beach, you can't build sandcastles for entertainment. You need a book.

    Thanks Neely!

    Not recently, but once over a 10-yr. stretch probably 75 Louis L'Amours, a dozen Dick Francis, War and Peace and Anna Karenina. You lit folks, if you have never read a L'Amour, check him out, you might get hooked.

    Hmm, being read to in the bath, there is good idea for a twist on the literary/ bathing process!

    Yippie!! It has taken a week to fix a light bulb in the bathroom, now I can bathe and read again in comfort. Had to have showers or the odd bath with a lamp instead and it has not been good. I've felt like a philistine.

    What's not to love? Good book, hot bath, and a glass of wine is the perfect end to a stressful day. I just wish I had one of those tubs with the jets.
