Ahhhhhhhhhhh![Sound of me not working!]
I am only one day into my vacation time, and believe me, I am loving it. So far the weather is great, here on Vancouver Island.
More specifically, I am in Nanaimo, shown in picture.
So far... hmmm... what have I done? Well, a lot of visiting with my family, some coffee-drinking [Starbucks, of course. Fresh-ground beans. You know, I am still waiting for someone to invent a cologne called "Starbucks-Man"!]
I sat around on the deck this morning, sipping java and reading a great book. Zadie Smith's On Beauty.
Just lounging.
Yesterday though, I actually did do some work. Work that will lead to play!
I helped my brother-in-law install a wakeboard-pulling apparatus to the boat, [not an easy task] so that as early as today or tomorrow we can all commence trying to kill ourselves on wakeboards. For those who may need a visual on this, here are some pics of other people trying to kill themselves wakeboarding.
Just dropping by to tell you all that I am really into this "not working" thing!

Hey Cip I'm glad you're enjoying your vacation, looks like it's a break from the madness blaze at your work! :)
ReplyDeleteVancouver Island has been such distant memory to me. I was there in 1997--took BC Ferry to Victoria then drove around the island.
Yes Matt, the Island is just awesome. Yesterday we were out on the ocean, zipping around this archipelago of scattered islands and we saw seals and otters and bald eagles... really really gorgeous landscape. And the air is so fresh and clean. Makes me want to move back here [I used to live here!]
ReplyDeleteThe best to you.
