I had a day’s worth of comp time banked last week when my boss suggested I use it or lose it. When do I need to use it by? Asks me. End of the month says he. Well, far be it from me to turn down a four day weekend, I booked the day after Memorial Day. Aka, tomorrow.
Now what? My beloved will be at work, the kids will be at school. How should I spend the day? I was reserving it for possible yard work if it rained all weekend, but I got the yard work done yesterday. I am free and clear tomorrow.
I have three ideas. I just need to pick one.
Obviously idea #1 is to flake the day away. Watch some tube, a movie or whatever. That’s probably what I’ll do, but I’d like to at least think about doing something more involved.
Idea #2 is music. I’ve got a lot of in progress recordings that could be polished off over the course of a full business day. That would be nerd-hobby productive, and therefore acceptable to my nerd brain.
Idea #3 is to have a photo day. Take the camera somewhere and take a pile of new pictures to feed the Flickr. But where? Boston is the obvious place. Harvard Square in Cambridge? Maybe some places near home like the Spicket or Merrimack rivers? I don’t know. It sounds like a good idea.
Which do you suggest, oh Internet?
Inside the Red Head's Head 
How about Manchester or even Concord? or Salem, Mass.? or maybe Ipswich or Gloucester? Just a couple of ideas I’m throwing out there. Not too far from home but still someplace photogenic.
