T minus 3 days

First day of a short work week.

Both Fe and I are trying to get things set up for our time away from our jobs. I think I'm having an easier time of it, though. My job can be high-pressure occasionally, but hers is more of a steady, constant pressure. I know this because of the headaches she brings home from work.

I read somewhere--NY Times, probably--that most Americans don't take long vacations because of the worry that things will be too piled up when they return. I have that concern, but I'm also hoping things don't run too smoothly while I'm gone. No need for anyone to think I'm dispensible...

It's 68 F (20 C) in Carlisle, PA...
