You know what? I think I'm going to take a vacation before my vacation.
As you may recall, Loraine and I are gearing up to fly away for a few days, down to Savannah. We leave two weeks from yesterday, and I have to admit I'm looking forward to not only flying somewhere again, but flying somewhere where the average daytime high is 90 degrees.
You know—perfect Jim weather.
Being me with the job I have, in order to go anywhere for a few days I have to work a lot of days ahead of time, making sure computers know what to play and making sure that everything's ready to that needs to be ready to go. Well, I've been toiling away working ahead to get ready to go to Savannah, and I've noticed I've been toiling away so efficiently that I'm a couple of days ahead of schedule. I also noticed that the weather forecast for here in Marquette Monday is calling for sunny skies and 85 degrees.
Hmm. A perfect Marquette summer day, and me actually being ahead of schedule for once in my working life. You know what that means, right? Uh-huh—a vacation before my vacation. I'm taking a three-day weekend!
So when you come back for one of these on Monday there won't be one here. Instead, I'll be playing out in the sun, and actually using eight hours instead of four in my never-ending attempt to use up my vacation time.. And if nothing else, it'll be good training for Savannah in two weeks. After all, in order to enjoy something you have to be in prime shape, prime condition before you do it, right?
Well, consider Monday my “training” for vacation.
Have a great weekend, no matter whether it's two or three days. I'll see you Tuesday!
