Time Off Projects

We are about 200 miles from home. We’ll get there sometime tomorrow, probably in the mid-afternoon, after we drop off the rental car at the airport. We were originally coming home on Monday. I booked time off from work on Monday and Tuesday. Eventually the plans changed and we were booked to come home on Sunday but I never cancelled the Monday and Tuesday time off. Now that we’ll be getting home on Sunday, though not as planned, I want to come up with some projects to work on to have something creative and productive to do on those two days off.

The weather is going to suck on Monday, but be pretty good on Tuesday. I think I will try to pull off an album-in-a-day project on Monday. I’ll start it Sunday evening, I think, and then see if I can get 30 minutes of new music written and recorded by the same time on Monday. It will all count toward the 50 songs in 90 days challenge as well.I have only ever pulled off the album-in-a-day thing once. Maybe I can get it done again.

On Tuesday, if the weather is as good as predicted, I hope to do some photography stuff. Sunrise at the ocean, then a spot or two on top. Maybe this will finally be my morning in Boston? Who knows. After the photo-walk (whatever it ends up being) is done I’ll get back to 50/90 for the rest of the day.

Either that or I’ll just watch Doctor Who for the full two days off. We’ll have to see how it goes.

What a Day!

South Carolina, North Carolina which is almost entirely under construction, Virginia where massive traffic jams are apparently the norm, Maryland where massive traffic jams are also the norm, Delaware where we stopped for dinner, New Jersey where the traffic was okay but the Jersey Turnpike toll was $20.05… seriously, New York where the traffic is so bad even after 9:00pm on a Saturday that it makes Virginia and Maryland look like an amusement park, and finally just over the border into Connecticut where we will sleep for the night.

Holy shit, what a day.

In closing, this is a picture of a roller coaster at a park called King’s Dominion. I rode this standing/loop coaster back in 1989 while visiting with my high school band. I felt like a freakin’ daredevil riding that thing.

Radical Change in Plans

What was it that John Lennon said? Life is what happens while you’re busy making other plans?

The test is still running but it’s looking like a negative. We are still being overly cautious and heading home though. Just to be safe and keep everyone else at the resort safe.

It’s time for an epic Florida to Massachusetts Socially Distant Road Trip, Babie! WOOOHOOO!!!
