Hot dry and dull.

The days seem to be longer and hotter as the strike moves along. I'm ready for a vacation and next week I'll take one. The family is going to Yosemite in a few days and I will join them next Wednesday. After 11 years in this business I've learned that taking time off is a good thing. My oft repeated mantra is, "No one ever said on their deathbed, I wish I'd worked another day". My kids will be out of our home in a few years so we want to do these things with them while we can.
