There comes a time when one needs to take a step back from the fray and take a mental health break. I’m at that point, so She Who Endures My Myriad Eccentricities and I will be in New York for a few days for some much-need R&R. I’ve never been into the city, so I’m excited about exploring someplace new. We’re spend the past few days watching the Ken Burns’ New York PBS miniseries, so now the History major in me is pretty excited. We’re planning on doing the usual touristy-type things: Ground Zero, Staten Island, a Rangers game, a Broadway show. For the next five days, I’m going to do my level best not to care: about politics, blogging, the Internet- ANY of it. I just want to have some fun and relax.
While I’m going to check out for a few days, I do have a couple of guest authors lined up who may fill in as the spirit moves them: my oldest stepson, Adam, and Vince Leibowitz, whose connections and insight into Texas politics I’ve always admired and envied.
Try not to miss me too much while I’m gone, but it really IS time for a break. This is the first trip we’ve taken that didn’t involve children since our honeymoon six years ago, and we deserve it. It’s time to have some fun. I’ll see you in a few days. ;p)
