Vacation Update

One week into my vacation and I just have to ask-- why are vacations so tiring? Seriously, I'm having a great time, and I'm certainly not looking for any sympathy, but it is a bit of a paradox that relaxing can be so exhausting. Part of it is the sun, part of it is being an integral part of keeping my 5 and 8-year old children entertained, but part of it is... what? The jarring effect of breaking your day-to-day routine? The inability to sleep as well in a strange place as compared to your own bed? An overabundance of restaurant food, throwing you body's normal routine out of whack?

Probably all of the above. Okay, so here's what I've been up to for all you poor saps stuck doing your normal job-like activities:

So, there you have it. Just wanted to share. Okay, and to make you feel a tad bit jealous ;->

Seriously, it's been a lot of fun, and there are a few more days to go. Nice to kick back and pay absolutely no attention to the rest of the world, or my job, or... well, any of that stuff.

And yet it's tiring. So, I think I'm off for a nap.

Good luck with that work thing, folks!

Oh, and thanks for filling in again, John. Greatly appreciated-- I will comment on the NFL and Joe Lieberman when I return next week.

Sounds like a great vacation. Too great. I hope the daily grind is murder for you now!
