Today is the start of my two week vacation. I slapped together 9 vacation days + 1 national holiday and came up with 16 non-work days including weekends. That is 1/2 a month.
This might be the longest vacation I have ever taken. Any more and I would qualify as French
.
I was all set to indulge in the worlds longest slothfest, but unfortunately life intruded. So I have to tack on a financial planning meeting, a doctor's appointment, a dentist appointment, volunteering at the polls, and various errands. Of course a portion of the time will be spent in Las Vegas, where I am thousands of miles away from my doctors, dentists, and financial planners.
So here I sit unencumbered, with travel preparations perhaps the most weighty issue on my plate.
