Betty Ann, Jake and I are now into the middle of our second week of holidays. It's funny how it takes this long (and a few rainy days with nothing to do) to feel wound down and relaxed. This is the first 2 week holiday we have taken in a few years and the break has been nice.

One thing I really love is being able to stay in touch with work via email and internet. Maybe it shouldn't be this way, but being in the know with what is happening at our stations actually helps me relax. Never thought I'd be "that guy".

It's also great to able able to check the weather radar anytime you want to see what's incoming. Helps a guy pick when to hit the golf course.

Speaking of golf, Jacob is now 100% capable and excited about playing 9 holes at a time. He's also young enough to pretty much run the entire course so it plays him out good for the evening.

Nothing like holidays.
