Poor Ellery. He needs a vacation real soon. A long one. More than just a weekend. Dealing with such a stressful situation is making him cranky and edgy.

Went looking for you at the chat, and no one was there.

And the plot thickens yet some more. Yee Haww! It looks like the story is about to get as spicy and delicious as chili made by Ennis from Alma's recipe.

OK,  Just for fun.  Everyone is saying that Ellery needs a vacation.

Where do he and Ennis go?  London?  Ellery drugs Ennis with lots of demoral (sp) to get him on the plane.

BBM? Denver?

That's an interesting question, Bob. I wonder if Ellery has traveled much? We know Ennis hasn't. As for where they should go, also an interesting question. While Ellery might enjoy a vacation in a city--Denver, San Francisco--I think Ennis would feel like a fish out of water. On the other hand, what Ennis likes to do (hunt, spend time in the woods, go riding) does not seem to be Ellery's cup of tea, nor is it good for his back.

Wes alluded to this. For this relationship to grow and flourish, they need to find their common interests, beyond a shared love for getting fancy.

Well, I guess Mexico is out. How about a ski resort. It's sporty and outdoor for Ennis and Ellery might like the apre ski activities!

Vacation Topic for E & E:  Agree,  that too much outdoor back to basics would be a strain for Ellery. I think at this point in there relationship, they still want to "be alone".
As both guys are in or aproaching their 40's, I see them sort of see Ellery splurging on Ennis with a trip into the woods and renting a fancy cabin.  This way they can be alone, yet stil be in comfort.

whoa whoa whoa.  People.  Ellery can't take a vacation.  He's in the middle of a multiple homicide investigation, he's got a major case pending trial (Wyoming vs. Steele) and will be a witness in Wyoming vs. Early when that one gets set for trial.  This is the biggest case of his life.  He is in a pressure cooker he can't get out of.
