VACATIONS - I LOVE VACATIONS

I could have resisted the temptation to tell you that right now I'm likely resting on some beautiful beach in Hawaii. But Noooo. I will rub it in. Vacations help me by letting the gray matter do its thing while I rest or recreate. Last time I was here, we did one of our favorite things and took a snorkling adventure on a Zodiac.

I was snorkling in deep water when the coral put me in a bad place. In my effort to get away from the coral I gulped some sea water. In my effort to breath I managed to gulp more water. Yep, full-fledged panic. Tour leader had to come rescue the old man. My kids think that has cured me of deep water snorkling. Time will tell. It hasn't cured me of riding on Zodiacs. That's a certainty.

Take a vacation. You too might almost drown. But you'll come back pumped with ideas.
