So I took a little time off

Rather than keep complaining about the fact that our governor had been on vacation more days than he’d worked since mid-June while I, the unemployed guy, kept his nose to grindstone job-hunting, I figured I’d just take some time off, too.

So my wife and I joined my oldest daughter and her three kids down at Surfside. We drove down on Friday, and came back today. And I couldn’t post from the beach the way I did back here (the weekend before I was laid off), because the newspaper kept the laptop.

Of course, I could have borrowed my daughter’s laptop. But I chose instead to spend my time more fruitfully — such as going to the beach with the girls. Above you see a fair representation of the twins‘ enthusiasm for the ocean. They love it SO much that it’s a good thing I was there, because it took three adults and their big sister just to keep them from heading for the Gulf Stream. They charged the surf like this even when their hands weren’t held.

So yeah, I could have been blogging. But look what I would have missed.

    Good for you Brad. Being a grandparent is the best job in the world from what I understand.

    Things did not get out of hand while you were away. Doug has been a little uppity. I actually agreed with Lee. bud attempted to antagonize but to little effect.
