The Journey: Dormancy

dormancy = inactivity = time-out

It’s not a bad thing, dormancy.  It . . . simply is.

Life with Mom continues.  Nothing has changed.  I’ll confess there’s the odd day I want to smash my head into a brick wall because I simply can’t stand the monotony of having to do all, and that a social life and friends are non-existent.  But most days, I’m fine—it’s truly all good. 

Take our evening DVD watching.  Right now we’re going through an old show called CHiPs.  I’d heard of it, but never watched it back when (motorcycle cop escapades probably held little personal appeal).  Picked up Season 1 for $10 at Walmart and started watching.  You know what?  It’s pretty darn enjoyable and a great way to experience some [necessary] time-out. 

It’s kinda like Little House on the Prairie . . . on wheels.  It’s wholesome.  Who doesn’t love happy endings in a world filled with strife and anger, and bloodshed? 

Larry Wilcox as Officer Jonathan Andrew "Jon" Baker and Erik Estrada as Officer Francis (Frank) Llewelyn "Ponch" Poncherello are totally likeable.  The stories may be a little dated sometimes, but all and all, CHiPs is very watchable. 

If you haven’t seen the show, and you’re looking to [truly] escape with some entertaining “family-rated” DVD fun, go for it.  You won’t be disappointed.
