  • Refreshing

    DadDelaney_ski_Mar2012I hope everyone has a great week this week. I’m off, trying to recharge and refresh after a rough speaking schedule this fall.

    My family has a tradition of spending Thanksgiving up in the mountains skiing. There isn’t a lot of snow, but I look forward to skiing, dominos, ping pong, and more with my wife and kids.

    You should be sure that you take a break periodically from work and make sure you refresh and recharge. All too often I see people skipping vacation, which isn’t good your mental health.

  • Holiday

    Taking some of my own advice. I’m off today and tomorrow, as well as Monday for Labor Day. Across this 5 day weekend, I have a number of chores to tackle, including trying to build another horse shelter before winter.

    However I will look to recharge and relax a bit. No baseball, no kids sports, just a family weekend on the ranch.

  • Holiday

    Sort of.

    I’m off for a week to Camp Alexander near Pikes Peak for Boy Scout summer camp. My 13year old is attending and working his way toward Eagle Scout. He’s a Star scout now, and with any luck, this week we’ll get 3 more of the Eagle required merit badges and be that much closer to that amazing achievement.

    There’s no cell service, and no real Internet, so I’ll be completely out of touch for a week.

    Everyone behave.

  • Slipping in a Break

    I know some people like long holidays, but I tend to prefer short ones. Today is one of those breaks for me. I’m coming back from Pensacola and SQL Saturday #132, taking the day off as I spent Sunday and the morning with my daughter.

    This was a combination of work on Fri night/Sat for the event, and then a mini-vacation on Fri morning, Sunday, and Monday morning for the two of us. A little Daddy/daughter time that we both enjoy and look forward to.

    Remember to get those breaks in when you can, and take advantage of the chance to spend time away from work if you are traveling and can fit it in.
