No jokes, please...

alexpgpI don't think I've ever been a big fan of April Fool's jokes, mostly because I find most of them decidedly unfunny. Or maybe it's because I'm a gullible sumofthebits, though to hear some people carry on, my picture ought to appear in the dictionary next to the entry for "skeptic."
Anyway, the work load has picked up for the time being and that's no joke. I had entertained visions of spending a half day in Durango this weekend (you know cabin fever must have taken hold when the thought of traveling 60 miles each way in order to wander around a Wal-Mart to do grocery shopping seems attractive), but now, I'm not sure I'll be able to. (Looking back at that sentence and visualizing myself at Wal-Mart, it's clear to me that going to Durango is so not a priority.)
I had discussed doing something at the kids' place this evening, so we'll probably do that (whatever "that" ends up being), but then I'm going to be booked pretty solid until Monday. My bank account will thank me later on.
In about another week, I shall have been in Pagosa for two months straight. I'm beginning to get used to the regularity, and wonder - from time to time - just how I might approach life in a "controlled absence" mode (i.e., I get to choose when I'm gone, for how long, and - most important - I get to do so far enough in advance to matter, all without overly upsetting the seeming scores of people who rely upon me for a chunk of their incoming cash flow).
Cheers...
