My boyfriend Todd just loves to go camping. Whenever he gets some time off from work, he packs up his tent, sleeping bag and supplies and heads off to some remote location. He is perfectly fine without running water, a bed to sleep in or a roof over his head. He is happy to fish for his dinner and cook it over an open flame. He’s not bothered by weather or the lack of modern conveniences. Unfortunately, Todd would like me to join him on these excursions. I am not a fan of camping. I’ve devoted a lot of time, money and effort to make my home as comfortable as possible. I have stainless steel kitchen appliances, a big screen television with surround sound, and a queen sized bed with expensive bamboo sheets. I have access to a coffee maker, hot shower, microwave and toilet. Most important, I am able to control the indoor temperature with a tap of a button on my smartphone. My smart thermostat allows me to regulate everything from fan speed to humidity. A top quality gas furnace and central air conditioner ensures that the outdoor weather is never a problem. It doesn’t matter if it snows or rains, whether there’s ungodly humidity or bitter windchill, because my heating/cooling system maintains ideal comfort at all times. This doesn’t encourage me to hike into the woods and spend a weekend the mercy of the weather. If I’m going to take a vacation, I’d like to stay at a five star hotel with room service and an indoor pool.
