Amazingly, I'm not talking about chocolate this time. I'm talking about the luxury real-estate section of the Wall Street Journal.
Before they began publishing a Saturday edition in 2005, I looked forward to my Friday-lunchtime ritual. My husband gets the WSJ, and it arrives here early enough that he can pick it up and take it right to work with him. On Fridays, I would hijack that paper and remove the "Weekend Journal" section. It was sure to include several pages of luxury real-estate listings--with pictures.
Those listings are in the Saturday paper now, and Saturdays are just way too crazy for me to be able to sit and enjoy a leisurely lunch while drooling over the thought of ocean views, floor-to-ceiling windows and wraparound porches. But I miss that opportunity to wonder what surprises these homes, depicted in tiny black-and-white photos and a sentence or two in Realtorese, really have to offer.
I don't need or want to live in one of these houses, but I sure do like looking at them. One can dream! Guess I'll have to start saving the Saturday edition so I can enjoy it on the following Monday.
