Never Take an Unemployed Lawyer to a Spa

From Time Magazine:

My mom is not a master of subtlety. So when she said, five different times, that the only thing she really wanted for her 65th birthday was to go away to a spa for her first time, I was able to riddle out that she wanted to go away to a spa. So I got us a reservation at the Lake Austin Spa Resort, one of the top U.S. spas, according to Condé Nast Traveler. But when I called to tell her about her present, she paused and said, “Just the two of us?” I did not know it was possible to creep your own mother out. Panicked since I had already made the arrangements, I offered to bring my sister Lisa. Then Lisa, who is an out-of-work lawyer, started making a spreadsheet of all the activities we would do. At the spa. If you’ve never seen a spreadsheet filled over and over with the words spa appointment and yoga, then you don’t know how desperately we need to turn this economy around.
