Saw my mom for the first time in pretty much two years. So did my kids. It was a time of root beer floats, sea breezes on the porch, walks on the beach, and the Wu-Tang Clan:
That’s art, dammit.

Light-ish posting this weekend.
Taking the kids to go see Nana. Half-debating forgetting to take the Chromebook with me, because it’d do me good to read a print book for a change. On the other hand, there’s deadlines to consider… nah, I should probably not take the Chromebook anyway.
And I’m back.
A successful vacation! Kites were flown, boardwalk food was eaten, golf carts were ridden, my wife got to make a camp fire, many dogs were seen and made much of, a moose plushie was won in an epic battle with a claw machine*, and I slept a remarkable amount of hours. A good Mother’s Day was had by all.

*As it went into the hopper I half-hissed, half-shouted: To the last, I grapple with thee; for hate’s sake, I spit my last venom at thee in full Khan Noonian Singh mode. By now, my wife doesn’t even roll her eyes. She has become resigned to my little ways.
Taking the day off.
As in, I am taking my phone and getting into the car and going somewhere else. My wife’s taking ‘unpaid teacher’s aide duty’ today. I have no idea where I’m going, except that it’s not gonna be here.
Reduced posting this week.
It’s Thanksgiving week, my wife and I have a (rare) Thanksgiving dinner of our own to plan, and all of my free time is getting sucked into getting the NaNoWriMo draft done. It’s not really a ‘vacation,’ per se, but I should try at least to feel less sad about doing content this week. I might even try to get to bed to earlier – nah, that’s crazy talk.
‘Vacation.’
Why lie? I spent the day going to movies and playing video games. And I’m gonna do that this weekend, too.
Light posting this weekend.
Probably won’t be any at all Saturday; no Internet, and all that. And, frankly: I could use some downtime. This has been a stressful few months, and a little R&R sounds wonderful.
And we’re back.
Had a nice little visit, saw the trees get their fall on, and have returned. Alas, the children have school in the morning, even though it’s a federal holiday and my wife has off. A tragedy, really. I don’t know what we’re going to do…
Ah, that blessed moment of silence…
…when the kids are engrossed in their electronics (after pizza, ice cream, and the pool) and the wife is taking a nap in the other motel room bed. Oh, there’s noises. But they’re noises I don’t have to CARE about.
:clatter:
Damn, typing that out was like a magic spell, apparently. See you later.
Ah, the joys of navigating wifi.
I’m only on this to get passwords to video sites for the kids, tell truthful. It’s a family day, so catch you later. Will be back sometime tomorrow.
