It was standard stuff for the most part-- gym, a bike ride, some photography, a little reading, and a lot of sleep.
The unusual aspects were that this vacation was more social than most-- dinner with a friend, a get together with another friend, and a gathering of some high school chums. Included were a couple of guys I hadn't seen in forty years.
I got a hair cut and ventured in to Walmart for the first time in a year and a half.
I tried a new type of pizza and it will be months before all the garlic is out of my system. It brought back a fond memory.
Unlike most other vacations, I did NOT grow my usual vacation beard. I had too many social commitments and I didn't want to look grubby.
The vacation ends at ten tonight, and it's time. I yearn for the excitement of the newsroom.
See you tomorrow.
