where did u vacation (if you care to say)?
I am considering writing about it and posting it here as a short essay if it turns out amusing enough. I would like to stay down to a length similar to the "A Letter To Ian Punnett."
For now, I can say that several days were out of the country and I was actually "wyrking," while the rest of the time was parsed into clumps in the states within what I consider doable driving distance targets and the only working done was private writing material. I love to drive and investigate on the way to anywhere. That's a large part of the fun. I'm not much of a flyer. I'm too tempted to pull pranks that will land me in airline stew.
I sound a bit cryptic. In reality, it was simply an excellent REBOOT period. For the most part, I stayed away from cell phones, internet, TV, etc. Catching just a little news and phone calls that couldn't wait. I ignored almost all email and voice mail except very familiar contacts. Most electronic interaction was done while at home base preparing for the next roadtrip.
I'm using these last two June days or so to play catch up, when in fact I am not officially due back to the Rat Races until July 1.
It will be good to return to a pattern.
If we don't have SOME kind of tether, we can just float the Hell away I think, which is tempting, but not very productive in my case and could lead down that road to homelessness and living on the beach, selling weird/wired crap:
Handmade miniature Carribean musicians. The perfect souvenir! Crafted from seashells, wire, and the interesting flotsam and jetsam brought in via Neptune's folly. No two alike. Donations and gift cards above purchase price accepted. Have a nice day. God Bless. All sales final.
