VACATION

WE'RE TAKING A VACATION, SEEMS SINFUL, AFTER ALL, WE ALREADY TAKE A SPRING AND FALL VACATION AVERAGING 12 WEEKS A YEAR.

WE HAD DECIDED LONG AGO THAT IF THE PLAN FOR "VEGAS 80" CAME TOGETHER WE'D TAKE A COUPLE OF EXTRA DAYS OFF. USUALLY WE PLAN ALL OUR SOCIAL STUFF DURING THE SPRING OR FALL WHEN WE ARE OFF ANYWAY, OR WE JUST DECLINE OR SKIP EVENTS. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE CASINO EMPLOYEES SELDOM LY GET TO TAKE TIME OFF ON THE WEEK-ENDS.

THIS BRINGS UP A POINT, IF YOU'RE PLANNING A PARTY, CELEBRATION, FUNERAL, OR WEDDING, CAN YOU PLAN IT FOR SEPTEMBER OR OCTOBER SO THE "HAPPY CAMPERS" CAN ATTEND?

ANYWAY BACK TO OUR VACATION, WE PUT IN A REQUEST FOR A COUPLE OF EXTRA DAYS OFF FOR "VEGAS 80" EXPLAINING THE FAMILY WAS COMING TO NEVADA TO CELEBRATE GRANDMA'S 80TH BIRTHDAY. WHEN WE CHECKED THE NEW SCHEDULE, WE GOT THE WHOLE WEEK OFF AND OUR TWO DAYS OFF. THAT'S NINE DAYS OFF IN ROW.........

LOOKS LIKE I'M GOING TO NEED TWO 30 PACKS OF BEER ON THE WALMART LIST FOR NEXT WEEK. DAY ONE OF OUR VACATION IS THE NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME BETWEEN THE PACKERS AND THE GIANTS.

AHH...... LIFE IS GOOD !!!
