the fantasy biz

I am in the fantasy business. I sell golden summer days and happy families and sex to the sound of the waves. I sell long walks with your lab on the beach and lobster dinners and castles in the sand. I do not sell sunburns and cobwebs and broken outdoor faucets and grills with starter buttons that don't work and doorknobs that fall off and scraped floors and rainy days and squabbling children. Over the course of a season, all of those things happen. But given even one transcendent moment, everyone who books a Block Island rental will remember only the good and come back for more.
     Because everyone's in the fantasy business.

OK, so the production values aren't great—what do you want from me and an iPhone? Hannah's video tour of Claudia's is superior to Claudia's video tour of Hannah's, but I had to  shoot the footage before leaving the island: I begin reserving for next year next month. And it begins again.

John and Pam have pumpkins and chrysanthemums. There's candy corn on the table. The song Spooky is running through my head, and I've started waking up later and later. Guess the time's going to change soon.
