I am going on vacation Monday, so there won't be any updates until April 1st. No joke.

My vacations take the form of visits to friends and family, and this one is no exception. My good and old friend Marco lives in an idyllic setting South of Daytona Beach. He is as close to being on the water as you can get in his location, and we'll be surf-casting for dinner every day I'm there. 

It's what he does every day. He teaches surf-casting, too. He is an excellent chef, as well. Last year's vacation he was sick almost the entire time, and we still spent hours on the beach catching fish.

This is this year's beach vacation, as it was last year's. I'm excitedly looking forward to relief from the noxious weather (today's the first day of Spring, and it's twenty-three degrees out and snowing here in Syracuse), and spending a lot of time outdoors - something very different than what I do at home.

I take two week-long vacations every year, and fill in the year with long weekends. These long weekends are, in many ways, the most important vacations: They're the sanity-keeping ones. The ones that bring me back home to New York City, and to Sharon, MA, and Brattleboro, VT, and Woodstock and Westchester New York.

My other long vacation is to LA to visit Alex and friends. 

That's the plan. Not planned, but happening, will be visits to other parts of New York (I'm officiating at a renewal of vows in Westchester, and just waiting for better weather to get back to Woodstock), and more visits to NYC.

That's how I like to use my vacation.

It just occurred to me that going forward, vacations will be different. They won't be vacations from work, they'll be vacations from my day-to-day life, and not limited by work.

I'm looking forward to that.

Diet Comment

Was it the almonds? Was it eating the majority of my calories after 10pm? I don't know. And, since I ate pretty well, I don't really understand why the weight gain.
