After a long and busy winter, I found myself with the opportunity to take this week off. Since last Friday I have been without any scheduled responsibilities. This has been my first real break since sometime in January -- full time job and gigging a bunch, with the winter ski season being the busiest time of year. No complaints, as the work (and corresponding pay) was welcome.
That said, it was time for a real break. Jenny and I discussed taking a trip, but in the end we both just wanted to relax at the old homestead. This proved to be just the thing for both of us. To top it all off, Christmas came early for me in the form of the delivery of my newly acquired 1970 MGB and some decent driving weather. I've spent most of the week driving both cars, enjoying the sunshine, and relaxing. I had almost forgotten how important these sort of breaks are.
So even though it's back to work for me tonight (4 shows this weekend, then to the office Monday morning), it's been a wonderful, restful, exciting week for me. The smile is big and genuine these days! I'm finally able to give full run to my inner car guy, and it's a bunch of fun.
I'd like to send out an extra thank you to Dave Graves (14dna) who did the on-the-ground inspection for the MGB and even sent along a spare manual for the car. It wouldn't be in my driveway without his help.
