what happened?...


well, i find myself here on friday afternoon taking inventory on what i have accomplished in my one week reprieve from work. the fact is, i didn't have a lot planned so from that perspective i have totally hit the mark. i was able to get in my annual ski trip to afton alps this past monday, i spent a good part of tuesday in tech mode revamping the blog, something that would have never happened had i not had a week off, on wednesday i met up with some co workers for someones going away party, yesterday was the much-hyped local "snownami", and today i've been puttering around with my acoustic guitar. i should also say that i've spent a couple of hours with my son playing and working through "lego batman" on the xbox as well as finishing career mode in guitar hero world tour, and leveling up on call of duty pretty much every night. i had an 8 day beard going which i have since retired, not only because it was grayer than i'd hoped but also because it was really starting to bother me. so all things considered, it's been a relaxing week and a much needed respite from the monotony of the weekly grind. i have always said that although a vacation is nice, i need the structure of work to remain on top of my game. if given the chance to be lazy, it's easy to do and bad habits begin forming (i.e., ridiculously late nights and later than usual mornings). the week really did seem to blow by but it's been a good break and i'm ready to resume the corporate beatdowns.
