Spring break

I miss being in school about as much as I miss the time I spilled my dinner on a guy I was trying to impress. But I do miss Easter vacation. They were mandatory. The schools shut down, and I was forced to sleep in, only to awaken when the waves were curling nicely at the beach.

Now that I'm all grown up (ostensibly), I don't get an Easter vacation. The kids are all grown, so there's no built-in excuse to run away and misbehave for a week. I have to conjure one, which wouldn't be so bad, only I'd have to suffer the inevitable payback that a week of fun engenders. What is it about "you play, you pay" am I not getting?

At any rate, the weather in southern California is way too beautiful for me to withstand. The windows are all open, a gentle breeze is blowing, and the sun is shining. I'm blowing the office off tomorrow and joining the 'gator.
