I wipe away the tears as I write this. This is my last day off before going back to work after a nice lengthy and extremely enjoyable vacation. I have not darkened the doorstep of the ol' salt mine since July 20, making it about a month of easy living. I must say that I am not looking forward to getting up early tomorrow to trudge off to work. But I guess there is light at the end of the tunnel as I will only have to wait for another couple of months before I am off again on another worldly adventure.
I must admit that the weather has been superb for a vacation, much like it was for last year's two month sojourn. We have had very little rain, although not so good for the lawn, but unfortunately I have not been able to get as much biking in as I would have liked. Always something else to occupy my time I guess.
So now it's back to browsing the interweb for tidbits of information to talk about on the blog.
And once again, many happy returns, Dad, on your 80th birthday!
