Days off are nice.

I need to take at least one week off each month for the rest of the year or I will lose some vacation time at the end of the year.

I decided to take today, tomorrow & Wednesday off and then next week, I'll take Thursday and Friday off. That will give my week off for this month.

On a different note, I attended a wake today for the son of a friend of mine.

I hate wakes normally but I really hate wakes when they are for the child of a friend of mine.

It's not right. No one should outlive their children.

No one.

No Red Sox game today. They are on their way to Ohio to play the Cincinnati Reds which means we get to see the new guy, Kelly and the other not-so-new guy, Workman, swing baseball bats.

It's weird watching an American League pitcher bat because they aren't very good at it.
