Staycation

On the CoasterBuzz Podcast, we've had great fun making fun of pundits and journalists for using the fake word "staycation." It's used to describe the trend of people going to tourist attractions closer to home instead of bigger travel, like to Florida or whatever.

I'm off all week. Well, Monday, technically is a work day, but I'm not going in. Tuesday and Wednesday, we got days off from our GM and our GM's GM for outstanding participation in the giving campaign (an annual thing at Microsoft). So with the holiday, that's a whole lot of time off. So I'm on vacation, but not going anywhere. A staycation.

I have two big agenda items: Work on my forum project, and spend time with Simon and Red Delicious. I don't feel like I've devoted enough time to either one lately. Well, Diana and I spend time every night, but Simon is usually in bed between 6 or 7. Who knew that having a baby would be so cool?

It's snowing pretty hard right now, which means all of Seattle is probably freaking out. The radar seems to show "mix" west of I-405, so I wonder what tomorrow will be like. Folks out here don't react well to snow, because they don't see it very often unless they're skiers and go up to the mountains.
