I really liked being on this tour, but it did wear me out at a couple of points. But we saw a ton of stuff! And didn't have to make many decisions! I mean, part of the time they even picked what we were going to have for dinner. It was a very relaxing way to see big chunks of two countries.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Speaking of vacations, it has already been announced that we can leave at 3 on Friday for the long weekend. SWEET. I have no plans, which is just as well.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Happy Birthday, David, and a wonderful year to come!

We did not feel the quake at Perkins'. Woe! Deb told us about it when we got to her place for coffee and a bit of breakfast.

We aren't doing that anymore. We were told that it was "illegal" for hourly people to leave and not punch out, so now no one can leave early. If we do leave early, we have to take vacation, including salaried workers. So now, even though theoretically those of us on salary could leave early one day and stay late another without taking vacation, we can't on a day before a holiday.

I should hope so!

That's ridiculous.

It's good to know that the big Q has still got it.

I get bored on vacation by myself, especially on the evenings. If there's stuff I actually want to do, I'll go do it, but guided tours are definitely helpful. And I've gotten more into the beach lazy thing as I've gotten older and lazier. Today, however, is just an extra day from the wedding festivities (my options were fly out today at 8am, or tomorrow at a civillized hour, so I picked tomorrow. Or, pay $500 instead of using frequent flier miles).
But I rallied! Left brenda's to get food and it is so nice out (sunny but not humid, breezy) that I decided rather than wait for the bus, I'd walk downtown. And here I am! Now to decide what to do, because going indoors seems silly.
