Tis the Season

As we here in Ohio are getting used to the warm weather we also look forward to Orange Barrel season, which immediately follows Pothole season. They overlap most years, so we get to put up with road construction right up until the ground freezes and the snow flies. It's sometimes an adventure trying to worm your way onto the highway when they have half the on ramp blocked and only one lane on the highway open and everyone in a hurry. And I just love it when they block off the road for several miles for several weeks but only work on a small portion of the road at a time. But its good to see our state tax dollars doing their job. Those eight guys standing there watching the one guy fill a hole are depending on us so they can get that raise this year.

Anyway, enough griping. My wife and son are leaving tomorrow for a Florida vacation with my niece and her family, so I will have a whole week to myself. A week of worrying about them, probably, but I'll try to take time to do some relaxing and do stuff I normally can't do, like pee in the kitchen sink, fart all the time and lounge around in my underwear.... oh wait, I do that all the time anyway, so maybe I won't miss them that much after all.
