A scene that reminds me why I bust my ass all year

[DFW]

On vacation in the States for a couple of weeks:

1. I'm headed out for Colorado in a week ...

Trying to get all my loose ends wrapped up so I can take a real break.

2. Kudos to you if you can manage to do that

If I'm on this planet, my loose ends follow me around. The good part is that being in North
America gives me the advantage that noontime here is 6:00 PM in Paris and Berlin, and even
later points east. After noon over here, my time is usually my own.

7. Enjoy your trip to my lovely state!

It's gonna be hot here if you're coming in the next few weeks but all in all, Colorado's a pretty darn good place.

Welcome & enjoy!

3. That's lovely, my dear DFW!

I know you're enjoying yourself, recharging your batteries, and having a grand old time...

Relax. You have more than earned it.

Hopefully, someday you'll retire, and then you can decide if you want to be busy, or not......and it'll be things you've chosen to be busy about.

4. I can't believe we've been here for 2 weeks already

Only one more week, and then I have to run down to Dallas and the real world starts up again. Yecch!

I definitely intend to retire some day. I just turned sixty, so I figure thirty more years, MAX. Maybe as few
as 25 years if I can train a successor. The only real qualifications are fluency in German, Russian, French,
Spanish, Italian, Dutch and at least one Scandinavian language, expertise in detecting counterfeit money,
and a work permit for the EU. I'm amazed the line isn't already forming around the corner LOL!

5. Was in Cape Cod when I was twelve with family. Found the people friendly and fun but lots and lots

of traffic. We didn't have a reservation and drove around for hours looking for a place to sleep.

6. Stephen King has written a LOT about the New England tourist effects...

... probably never more so than in his "Thinner".

Remember, if you like lobster, you're never going to find a more economical time to
enjoy it -- the harvests have been incredible... which means it's a buyer's market.
