A Restful Stay In The M-I-A

Back from the magic city of Miami to March in Minneapolis. Yesterday it was slightly muggy, partly sunny, and pleasant with temps in the mid to high seventies. Today it is windy, off and on rainy, and even a little snowy with temps in the low forties.

Back to the grind. Six days, fourteen hours, and some odd minutes of no work, no e-mails, no writing, no blogging, no surfing the 'net, no talk radio, and no newspapers. Other than catching a few minutes of cable news now and again, I was completely outside the news cycle. And it was sweet. Very sweet.

Lots of the Three R's. Reading, resting, and recreating with my niece and nephew. Other than a run down to Key West for a day (and night), my wife and I hunkered down with the in-laws in South Miami for the duration. Sleeping in, late lunches out, afternoon naps, and dinners flowing with wine and witty conversation (at least it seemed witty after three or four glasses of vino) were the order of the day. Every day. The way things ought to be really.
