up inside and you needed a few days away. To be surrounded by more green. I<br />

think Elly felt the same and we got a taxi to a little spa just outside Warsaw.<br />

A weekend of massages, jacuzzi’s and general relaxation. It promised to be<br />

blissful.<br />

Elly got upset as soon as we got there and worried about whether she could get<br />

massaged or how many of the services she could use. I said we’d check it out<br />

with the receptionist the next morning but tonight was for us. She was<br />

extremely tense and frigid though. In the end she fell asleep at 8 o’clock and I<br />

was left with nothing to do.<br />

I then had an idea.<br />

I would make something for her.<br />

I looked around for inspiration but saw none. I could make a mix tape but I<br />

wasn’t thirteen and it wasn’t the 1980’s. I could do a mix CD or mix mp3. Is<br />

that what the kids had to do today? An mp3 compilation or a playlist on youtube<br />

or grooveshark?<br />

I felt old. What did old people do?<br />

I could write her a poem.<br />

Even better, write her a poem then translate it into <strong>Polish</strong>.<br />

That would cheer her up.
