Road Trip Much?
I'm taking my first real vacation tomorrow. To clarify, by vacation I mean I'm leaving town and have no particular plans. I have nine days in a row of paid time off. I'm getting in my car and driving to Boise. I'm going to park my suitcase in my brother's guest room and...nothing. I don't know. This week is so wide open that the only actual appointment I have is for the Treasure Valley Rollergirls. I don't know if this is going to be awesome or just retro, but it doesn't matter, because I'm on vacation. Most of the week I'll probably sit in a coffee shop and abuse the free wifi, maybe buy an iced lattesso every 6 hours or so. Make friends with the barista lady and tip big so they don't throw me out, that kind of thing. Because I'm on vacation. Write two columns a day, because I'm on vacation, and I'll share the love. Or I might not. I'll watch ESPN just like at home, 'cause I'm on vacation. I'll go fishing if I want. I don't want to, but you get the idea. Gonna try to record a podcast with the Alger. Why? Because you deserve it. And because I'm on vacation. I'm gonna overstay my welcome everywhere I can; Boise's gonna wish they never heard of me. And when I get back we'll go out for ice cream, I promise.

This may seem ghetto (in fact, I KNOW it does), but my new favorite place for free WiFi is McDonald's — especially the new ones that are snassier. You can buy a cone for fitty cents and get free WiFi until the cows come home (or until my wife drags home by my ear.)
ReplyDeleteIf you have 9 days in Boise, you should probably find time to visit the Casa de Stobie.
ReplyDeleteI let your last visit slide because you were doing something important, like a brother's wedding or something. But you have publicly stated that you have nothing else to do.
So I'll see you soon bro.
