It was a beautiful day.....dammit!

...as has the whole week been. The weather has been incredible, the Wife and Kids have been home all day on their last week before school.....

....and there I am sitting in The Gulag, my chair facing the clear skies out the window beyond my monitor. If this job actually gave me things like, say, vacation time, I probably would've taken this week off. Instead here I sit "doing the right thing". Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Thank God that the great weather is extending into the weekend. I'm gonna try to grab my last day of summer beach as next week is......(drum roll).......

WorldCon!

It's a shame that it looks like the family and I are not going to get to the drive-in this summer. It seemed every time there was a film my little one could see the co-feature was not anything we would want her to see (The Princess Diaries 2 shown with Little Black Book? uh...no). Maybe with luck we'll get an nice mild indian summer evening next month with a decent double feature playing.

Still, we are soon entering the best time of year for me....the fall. The weather is mild but not hot and cool but not snowing and freezing (yet). Plus we'll have a chance to do our favorite family activities like leaf peeking, going to the Big E and, for me, watching Patriots football and the baseball playoffs!!! Let's hope I'll have a team to root for in October.
