3 day weekend!

[megamania]

After three weeks of working 8+ hours a day I am taking Saturday off. At this point I am 4 bers into my 12 pack, just finished an awesome ham supper and now look forward to relaxing and once the kids go to bed watch a movie with the wife.

Tommorrow its back to work.... such is life.

Last night I took time to think about my father. He has passed away (about 5 years now) and was in the service. Missing going fishing with him and listening to his very bias thoughts on religion, politics and ethic/racial things of life.

I've got a 12 week weekend.

After spending the last 30 minutes looking for my Sharn book that has the PbP characters within it I must add clean the game room to my list of things to do. sigh :\

I fall into the "Last weekend was the long weekend in Canada" category.

My wife, son, dog and I, spent three great days at the cabin on the lake. It rained pretty much the whole weekend, but we loved it, as it was quite. I prepped my Ravenloft Campaign, my wife read two paperbacks, and my seven year old son puttered around. But best of all, no TV.

20000+ email adresses restoring from tape backup. I'm on the "J"'s now. :cries:

You're going to BBQ your mother-in-law also?!?!?!

I need to find a new place online to hang out...

Allow me to suggest the Dolcett Archives. Can't give a link, though.



I get to work at a Subway in a mall. Practically the only mall around. Such fun. Lots of angry stupid hungry people in malls on holidays. Bastards.

I can agree there! I wanted to Hone Sithly Rage on quite a few of those kinds today! And it being on a SUNDAY too!!!

Ah, the joys of driving 95>Jersey Turnpike on a holiday weekend. Can't say that I envy you... When you get up into New England, see if you can do some driving on US 1 (or is it 101?) along the coast, especially in Rhode Island. There is some beautiful coastline there, I used to go there for vacation sometimes when I lived in NY to get away from everything. Small town New England on the beach. And if you can hit Mystic Seaport, it's well worth stopping. I've been there 4 or 5 times, and enjoy it more each time.

We did manage to get to the Mystic Aquarium. Color me unimpressed, though the Beluga whales were pretty cool. My daughter loved it. We thought it was woefully overpriced at $16 apiece. Fortunately, my daughter was free.

Yea, driving up 95 was... interesting. Actually it wasn't horrible. People drive too fast around Baltimore. Like, if you didn't want to get run over, you needed to go at least 85/90. We decided Delaware drivers were the most reckless/most likely to cut you off on the highway. And Virginia is the worst state for people not wanting to get out of the fast lane. I had to drive all over the road to get around people going too slow in the fast lane once I got south of D.C. There were a lot of wrecks in Baltimore going up there, and tolls! Oh god, the tolls. It cost us like $22 in tolls just to get there. Oddly enough, not as much coming back. I guess it is true that it costs you to leave Jersey, but not to enter it. Weird.

I haven't been to the Mystic Aquarium in years, do they still have the sea lions in the tanks out front? Did you get to go into the Seaport, or just the aquarium? If you could only do one , the seaport was what you probably should have picked, although it's probably up in the $20+ each range. $16 for an aquarium is pretty cheap, actually. Boston is up around $25 I think.

Yes, there are tolls. And more tolls. And just when you think you are done, there are a few more. If I can help it, I take 81 north over 95 anyday, but that would have added several hours to your trip. Glad that you had a safe trip other than the tolls.

That was my suggestion too. Dollar-for-dollar there's no contest.

More importantly, DK, how was the food at your great aunt's place?
