for 4 days of essentially doing nothing, except for playing golf, eating and sleeping, and maybe a jog or swim or two, but no bike.
And neither am I taking the computer. So there’ll be no emails, posting to the blog or even watching of television. Of course we’ve Tivo’d all the shows we don’t want to miss.
But if you do need to get in touch with us, we’ll both our phones with us, so you text or call.
We’ll be back on Thursday with a full report.

There’s a whole other world out there Life, Wine

For the last couple of days, I have been fretting over bidding on a wine dinner with the Burghound, and award winning director Matthew Diamond.
Tonight I had just been trying to recruit a few other friends to participate, and convinced myself to bid $2,400, and then up my bid to $3,200 if necessary (It’s a dinner for 8). But much to my surprise, when I logged on to the website, I discovered the bid was already up to $4,300 (that’s over $500 per person). Bummer!!!
Now I’d be willing to go more, provided I only had to pay one quarter of the cost, but I haven’t had any success drumming up much enthusiasm for others to go over $300 per person.
Oh well, how could I be so naive to think, if I thought something was worth $3,200, someone else wouldn’t think it was worth a lot more.
If I didn’t realize it before, I do now. There’s a whole other class of people out there, who live in an entirely different world than I do.
At least now, all I have to worry about is what to do with the extra grand I seem to have burning a hole in my pocket. Some how though, I think the trip to Vegas, Edie and I are planning this week, will take care of that problem.

Why can’t I sleep on Wednesday nights? Life, My MCL

Here it is 3:41 AM, and I’ve already been up for 30 minutes. I had breakfast, put the dishes away, that were in the dishwasher, and now I’m playing on the computer, trying to kill another hour and 15 minutes before heading off to work.
I don’t understand it. It’s not like I do anything differently on Wednesdays, than I do any other day of the week, but it just seems that come every Thursday morning, I find myself unable to sleep. I toss and turn for an hour or two, eventually getting up around 3 AM. (Every other morning I manage to sleep until 6 AM, or 4:30 AM if I’m going to work.)
I did go for an easy bike ride in the morning, and then to the golf course to hit some balls later on in the day, neither of which were very stressful (I was hitting the ball pretty good). Plus I only got one call from work, making for a very relaxing day.
Could that be the problem? Not enough stress!
I didn’t even get a chance to take a nap during the day, so I can’t use that for an excuse.
