Why I Teach!

Summer Vacation of Course!
Officially starting today! I'm psyched for the nothingness...no routine, no alarm clocks...not that I ever needed one, nevertheless, just the act of putting that life controlling device in a drawer, where it will stay for the next 2 months is bliss producing! Nevermind that I will be a virtual prisoner in the house, lord it's hot in paradise in June, the AC in my car is dying, and the two mortgage thing has gotten really, really old. But it's OK, I have an extremely long reading list, a couple major/minor low budget projects, and a very comfortable chair. So, barring hurricanes, I am ready to settle in...almost.
The one nagging set back is the very thing I cherish, too much sedentary time! The calendar tells me that next year will be my 40th high school reunion. I'm not exactly looking the way I planned, ya know that fantasy we all have that we'll still be hot...OK tepid??? and everyone else will be stooped over, grey, grumbling about this ache and that pain...I'm heading that way and it's disturbing...think I'll put away the Oreo's...who knows, perhaps I'll find time to visit the gym I've been paying a membership to for forever, just in case I decide to...dare I say it...work out...or at least work up a sweat that's not caused by faulty AC...
I'll keep ya posted on how I spend my summer vacation...all is well is paradise!
