This is gonna be a fun week, he says
sarcastically.
Actually, I should drop the last part
of that sentence. It IS gonna be a fun week. I just have to figure
out how to get everything done. For, you see, I get to spend Tuesday
afternoon at the circus, and I get to spend Friday driving downstate
for a long weekend at Loraine's parents. Put that together with all
the work I have to do ahead of time to be able to take a four-day
weekend off, and THAT'S why I may have been overly sarcastic.
Even though it actually WILL be a lot
of fun.
When we did our circus contest last
year I went along to do a live broadcast and to take pictures, and
I'll let you know that the winners and the kids did have the time of
their lives. I'm hoping that happens again this year. And then
it'll be nice to spend Mother's Day weekend down with Loraine's
family. It's been a couple of years since we've visited—in fact,
the last time was three years ago for a funeral—and if nothing
else, it'll provide a nice road trip for Loraine's brand new car,
which has had a total of, uhm, 9 miles put on it since she picked it
up ten days ago. Not only that, but I'll get to hang out with
Loraine's teenage nephew Jeremy, who's perhaps a bigger “Star Wars”
dork than I am. We'll get to have fun while the “adults” are
doing “adult” things.
That'll be a blast.
So all I have to do is make sure
everything's set to go before we leave. As you may recall, I usually
have to work ahead almost a full day for every day we're gone
somewhere. We're only gonna be gone two 'work” days this time, so
hopefully I'll be able to fit it all in, despite the fact that I'm
spending part of Tuesday at the circus. If nothing else, it'll be
good practice for getting ready for our German expedition in a few
months.
You know, make sure I work out all the
kinks, and the like.
I promise not to whine, complain, or
otherwise foist any negative emotions on you for the rest of the
week. After all, I'm going to the circus, and heading out on a road
trip. That's not too bad of a way to spend a week in early May, is
it?
