I'm outta here!
I leave for the airport in less than 5 hours. First I'm off to New York for my Grandpa Joe's funeral, then I fly back to Denver on Sunday and hop on a plane on Monday for vacation in Florida. I'm kindof disappointed my laptop didn't make it back from Apple in time for this trip, but it's probably a blessing more than anything.
Not having a laptop, my productivity addiction will go unsatisfied (but my stress level will subside) and I'll likely feel out of touch with Java and technology when I return. However, I hope that I turn into my old self on this trip - whom I affectionately refer to as Montana Matt. An easy-going, low-stress guy who doesn't care about much outside of family, friends and having a good time. I'd like to smile a lot, quite worrying about work, and forget about all the open source projects that need releases. I plan on laughing a lot, sleeping in every day, and tipping back a few pints with family and friends. I probably won't be reading any blogs, but I do plan on doing a little mophoto-ing.
See you in a couple of weeks - normal operations will likely resume around the end of the month.
