Disconnecting for a week

I’ve been married for nearly 15 years. During that time, I have never taken a vacation wherein I didn’t do some kind of work. Sad but true! Actually, “sad” isn’t quite the right word; the freedom to work from the road has let me spend a lot more time traveling with my family than if I had a job that required physical presence in a defined location. However, I’m breaking the mold: for the next seven days, I’ll be cruising the Caribbean with no laptop, and thus no email. I will have my trusty Treo, but it only works in 3 of the places we’re going to, and I’m mostly taking it so we can call the kids to see how they’re doing. I’ve already turned in my columns for next week, along with some other stuff that needed doing, so I’m free as a bird until 2/13. See you then!
