Note for next vacation

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Next time I go on vacation, I need to go somewhere that is not internet accessible. As much as I love keeping up with the blog, this trip is really more about getting away from work and that was blown to heck today.

By having access to my work email, I know that I’m going back to work to replace a bad hard drive, and I know that there’s been a real outbreak of virus attachments hitting our email addresses. Don’t know that anyone has actually opened the attachments, but it wouldn’t shock me if someone did. *sigh* So while Monday and Tuesday were incredible days, today I was thinking about work for much of my drive. That sucks! I refuse to think about work anymore, this is my vacation dammit! 🙂

    I was just flipping through my aggregator and read Neil’s post about using a news aggregator. I’d have to say, I pretty much agree with the complaints he has. I generally find that I don’t ever make it to the site to read the contents when those sites post only titles or short excerpts of…

    After having internet connection outages during most of the morning yesterday, we had one at home last night. Weird, but it appears that everything is back to normal this morning.

    It’s Memorial Day. Given that, it was only natural to spend some of the day at Appomattox Court House and then the D-Day Memorial in Bedford, VA. This picture was from the second stop of the day, and if you’re in the area of Bedford, I highly recommend it! More pictures when I get back…
