All Hail The Virgin Lizard King!

Ok, so this turns out to be a relatively normal phenomenon in lizards, but it is seasonal, it is easy, and it made me laugh.

I have the next five days off from work, and won't that be interesting? I can't remember the last time I took this kind of time off. Although I'm receiving visitors and not going anywhere, this will be good practice for the SIX WEEKS of vacation I have in 2007.

Do not adjust your monitor - you read that last line correctly. I have six weeks of vacation in 2007.

And me being me, I just can't relax about this. I am now worried about where I'm going to go. A week or two for family, a long weekend each in Boston and Cleveland, and then what?

Europe?
Africa?
South America?
Middle Earth?

Now if only I could get a very large windfall of tax-free funds to help me on my way.

Welcome to the world of mega vacation. Next year, I have 7.875 weeks of use or lose vacation. On top of the seven weeks I can bank in perpetuity. I'm going to South Africa for two and a half weeks in June. Other than that, I'm hosed. I'll have to think of something. People think this is easy, but I totally understand that it's stressful.

Come to Amsterdam! You can ask, many people have enjoyed sleeping on my floor.

I think you should go to Denmark (was it?) and ogle the men. Or you should give me your vacation. You can steal my ideas, since I doubt I'll ever have that much vacation (I can't ever even be sure that I won't be working the major holidays):

1) learn to surf
2) find a Habitat for Humanity type organization and volunteer in Mexico for a month (and try to learn Spanish).
3) research and write a Filipino cookbook.

Of course, maybe you can't take all that vacation at once, which limits the options. Feel free to do any of these, then blog about it so I can live vicariously through you.
