Vacation Please
Posted on December 18, 2006 12:17 PM
Well, the weather is getting colder and the Christmas lights are twinkling warmly on all the neighborhood houses as I come home from work each day. I saw snow fly a few weeks back but I don't think we've gotten any official snow yet this year, however there are a few days left before Santa comes to town. Every year when the days get cold and the nights get long, I start to get depressed and then I throw the DVD from our trip to Jamaica into the player or I watch the footage from our honeymoon cruise that we took oh so long ago.
Vacations seem like an illusion. You go away for a week or so, eat, drink, and be merry, then you get to come back to reality. Depending on the type of vacation you may get treated like a king. My wife prefers a vacation where you come back with a suntan (at the least.)

OBX/Washington D.C./Hurricane Isabel Vacation
Posted on September 23, 2003 3:38 PM
We took a vacation to the Outer Banks (OBX) in North Carolina. We arrived Saturday afternoon, and we were evacuated due to Hurricane Isabel on Tuesday at noon.
Angela and I headed back home to regroup.
The next day we were back on the road, headed to Washington D.C. We saw a lot of memorials that Wednesday, and planned to see the museums on Thursday because we knew it would be windy and rainy.
I guess we underestimated the power of Hurricane Isabel because every museum that we tried was closed due to the weather.
We got some pictures of the Capitol Building instead.

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two "wolves" inside us all.
One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
