Weekend Post

I need to go somewhere. I do not yet know where. Maybe the Blue Ridge Mountains? Or how about Washington DC? I hear all the museums are free there. And of course by "free" I mean I already paid for admission to all of them thanks to the magic of income taxes. And gas taxes. And alcohol taxes. And so forth.

Getting the time off to go somewhere should not be too much of a problem. I have a good 30 days in the bank now. But this is not really important. It does not matter what the time bank is.

The problem is - nobody I know can just pack up and take off to someplace. I can, but that is because I am special.

So my "go somewhere" has to be somewhere inside Florida. Or at least somewhere I can drive to in a day. So that kind of limits my choices a little bit. DC is out.

I know people that live in Central Florida, so there is an option for a weekend trip. It is only a 4 hour or so drive. Not too bad. Maybe I could even add an hour or so to the drive and meet them in Orlando.

The point is I would be there and not here. Here could start to get rather boring soon.

But first thing is first! I have to be at work tomorrow. At 5 AM. It is currently 11:20 PM and I am still up. I may have to stay at work till 6 PM. Then be back at 4 AM Monday. But at least I will get to leave at noon on Monday. That will not be so bad.

I can think more about where I can go next week. I will have more time then.
