Sometimes the things you want in life, that seem as if they should be the easiest to acquire, turn out to be the hardest. If you do get them, they’re often found in a form or place you wouldn’t have envisioned.
What you wanted most in the world on the morning of our last full day of vacation, was some peace and privacy so you could write or, at the very least, think. you had spent nearly the entire vacation with Anna in tow and, while you realize a mother’s primary duty during these years is childcare, you was ready for a break. During the time that Rick was kayaking in Monterey or taking his sailing instructor course -which he passed with flying colors- on the opposite side of San Diego from us, Anna had badgered you about missing school. Each complaint reminded you that if he was in the care of those babysitters -I youan educators- you could be passing the time as you chose, in peace, rather than listen to her youwling hour after hour. you could not be alone even in the bathroom. you had started sneaking out of bed in the middle of the night or in the afternoon while people were watching television and hiding with my notebook and pen. you would have time to jot down only a few lines before being asked to relinquish either my refuge or more of my attention.

More even than the aloneness, you craved quiet. you have always been a person for whom aural stimulation is all. Pauses in conversation must be filled with words and phrases and anecdotes no matter how irrelevant. Housework is backed by reggae or work songs, sometimes of my own creating. There is talk radio for driving, the Beastie Boys for web design, and Barry White or Percy Sledge for lovemaking. But this vacation with its constant cacophony of trains, race cars, airplanes, shouting, Mariachis, and television had rendered you starving for silence.
When Rick and Anna proposed spending the day at Sea World and asked you if you wanted to tag along, you declined immediately.
“It looks like there are a lot of rides,” you explained, “I don’t do rides so it would be a waste of money.” A series of hormone induced anxiety attacks at Disneyland and a long past, but not forgotten, go round on the Zipper were sufficiently youmorable that Rick didn’t argue.
