Great Day

Some days really bite. You know the ones – usually preceeded by a sleepless night, got to be at the office for an early meeting, got to stay for a late meeting, deadlines stacking up, car runs out of gas, it’s either 100° out or raining or both, the IRS decides to audit you…
OK, OK, OK, I’ve never been audited, and I haven’t had a vehicle run out of gas since 1984. But you know exactly what I mean.
Take that day, turn it around 180°, and that’s the kind of day I’ve had. And damn, it feels good.
- A full 8 hours of sleep.
- No meetings until a leisurely 10am – plenty of time to enjoy a big ol’ cuppa joe.
- Bail out of the office at noon. Noon. Noon!
- Drive to the ballpark and catch the Bulls vs the Toledo Mudhens (I’ll bet you thought that was a made-up team, didn’t you?)
- The weather? High 70s with lots of big fluffy clouds providing periodic shade.
- Game ends in time to beat the after-work drive-time traffic.
- A quick stop at the Home Depot to drool over power tools.
- Chinese take-out for dinner.
Hey, it’s just 7:00pm and I’m done.
I could do this every day. Too bad I have to mow the lawn tomorrow.
